It's the most logical reason. You wouldnt hear him screaming, because he would be in a control room and talking to the anchor via an ear peice. it just doesnt make sense.

I give you a bonus point for not spelling "would have" as "would of" like the majority here but, really your experience aside, this hypothesis is pure speculation. You say it doesn't make sense , but saying it doesn't make sense is what doesn't make sense. Sometimes things happen on live tv- sets come crashing down, people blow their brains out on live tv, the power goes out, or there is a a weird hum or some audio slips out unintentionally from a mic. Or maybe even intentionally as a result of malice or spite work by a pissed off crew member.
I don't know about the specifics in this case, but then again neither do you. Your educated guess is just that, a guess, and in my opinion, not a good one. Maybe they didn't catch this technical error in time- the clip isn't all that long really. Mistakes can happen. Not often, but often enough for someone to post to Youtube once in a while. If that audio rant was added in post, how do you explain the female newscasters eyes darting around and her reaction to it- a coincidence? It's clear that she hears it too and trying to be professional and talk over it.
And it's not just this clip and this instance that I think a whole lot of you are wrong about, it's nearly every damn clip every time that someone says its a fake. I have no doubt in my mind that the amount of videos that are mistakenly called out as fakes by the cynics at GFY are twenty to every one that really is a fake. And the majority here are laughably poor at discerning the difference. |
