That's News To Me...

I am getting a little angry at the news media and I have narrowed the problem down to two possible things. First, the symptom... Have you noticed how when a news correspondant speaks with the news anchor, there is always a 3 or 4 second delay between question and answer? It goes something like this... "We now go live to Gail Smith standing by at the Oscars." 3 second pause "Hi Jim." 3 second pause "Gail, who was the best dressed this year at the awards?" 3 second pause. "Well Jim, Sandra Bullock... You get the picture. Here's the thing, in my pocket I carry the technology to hold a real time conversation with someone anywhere in North America and most of the civilized world. This technology is knows as a cell phone. So why is it that I have the ability to not pause everytime I want a response and FOX doesn't? Either it is all a theatric trick to make me feel like this conversation is more important than it is, or there actually is a tech problem causing this. If it is theatrics, stop it! You're not fooling me! If it is a tech problem, fire whomever is in charge of that. I know there is a way to fix it. Just do it! No excuses! I don't want any more delays on newscasts, got it?
