OK, so maybe I've been a little harsh, coming down on our local TV newscasts every day during sweeps month.
So, in the interest of fairness, let's come down hard on national newscasts. Check out this video, immortalized on YouTube, of a Fox Network "Live News Flash." Apparently, reporter Martha MacCallum and the crew were not aware that they were on the air.
This video answers the question: What do TV folks talk about right before they go on the air? Their hair, of course.
Sychophantic staffer to MacCallum: "I love the bob. I think you had the best bob ever."
MacCallum: "I can always go back to the bob."
Staffer: "I just felt it was the most effective bob."
Stay tuned to the end, when MacCallum does a quick read-through of the news. Hilarious.
