With you there.

I’d like to see the whole segment from before the cut to the pretty newslady. She didn’t want to be doing that – producer sent her to broadcast drunk people floating in technicolo(u)r yawns. She just about says so herself – “… so, you can see what I’ve been having to deal with … dealing with that in my own little way”. If the cut to live is sudden and jarring, it means the live team spotted a mark coming towards them and they prepped the studio for cut to live.Mild, mild, mild and pre-rehearsed wit from the pretty newslady (I really do think she’s attractive, but that’s another thing). But, it’s the kind of game you figure out when you’re 13. She’s annoyed to be broadcasting the ‘dark side’ of the whole thing, rather than the fun. So out it came. It all rolled exactly as they knew it would.

Diseases, plural. Missed opportunity, but still:
Local News = 1
Obnoxious Drunk Idiot = 0

I reckon her producer was thinking how to smooth things over with a review board while giving that reporter more air time

I think that was live.

And what producer wouldn’t expect a live cross to a street known for drunk people to have something crazy happen?

My guess: While the exact wanderer wasn’t chosen, they already planned to “go viral” and go off on the first drunk to enter their space (which considering the space, they knew they didn’t have to wait long for.)

Props to that reporter for being so quick with such a perfect verbal smack down. Well played.

Don’t television viewers want to be entertained? She seems like she’s done exactly that.

Um… she’s in New Orleans. It’s Super Bowl week. She’s on Bourboun Street. She, herself, is wearing beads. WTF did she expect?

That was a little mean.

Mean would have been, “SOOOOO, how long have you had a SEHHHXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE?” Calling it an STD was pretty merciful. And it obviously had no effect on the woman, who was frankly acting like she has tertiary syphilis.

Eh, I like it. The drunk was obnoxious and she was obnoxious back. I would give her a raise. I’ll take a verbal jab over one of those countless shitty and awful closing line cliche that reports always spew. Then again, I am from Boston, so a playful verbal “fuck you and go die you piece of shit” is almost about as offensive as grunting “eh” when someone says “good morning”.

If she loses her job, she should just move up to the Northeast. She can put that video on her resume.

So how long have you had an STD?

If I was her boss I’d put her in a small room reviewing tape for reporters doing something stupid so it can be cut before broadcast.

By: lou novak

lou novak — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:13:00 +0000

Maybe that reporter should stay off of Bourbon Street. Hell she should stay the hell away from anywhere. And what’s with the interest in STDs? Projection perhaps.

Nah, it was just mean.
