I'm glad the techs at MSNBC are having fun playing with the flashy graphics

Idiots.

1. CNN has had better coverage of the riots.

10. CNN generally has better coverage of live events n/t

2. What just happened? The anchor looked exasperated and threw her papers

down on the desk after an abrupt special report graphic appeared out of nowhere.

4. Was wondering the same

5. They suddenly cut to Chris Jansing with no warning, they had moved to coverage from another venue

6. I don't blame her (Chris Jansing)

I think we are all perfectly aware everything is literally breaking.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. Chris Jansing was visibly upset at the control room screwups

And now a new guy is anchoring.

7. She is STILL chewing somebody's ass.

8. They seem really disorganized. Chris Jansing is usually very professional

so it seemed unusual for her to lose it like that.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. We were shocked. She is always so calm.

9. Look, this broadcasting from home thing is tricky.

Networks are getting better at it, but you've got an anchor at home, and a producer, maybe also at home, people in the field and all this stuff is trying to be fed seamlessly into your living room. Plus, who knows what kind of mayhem is going on outside the block where these people live?

I've been watching MSNBC, I noticed the weird graphics, and the abrupt exit of Chris Jansing, and watched her throwing down the papers, and I too wondered about it.

But cut these people some slack, please. They are just trying to get you some information.

And has MSNBC permanently sealed Steve Kornacki next to the "big board" in Rockefeller Center? I want to about that also.

13. I do not believe all those people are at home

I’m pretty sure most of the anchors are at 30 Rock and so are producers and techs. Some may be on location in LA or Minny or wherever. Those are not “at home” cameras.

11. Her was pissed ...
