I believe all TV personalities and especially newscasters should be wearing masks
when they're on-air. I don't care about all the precautions they've taken against the virus,
SET THE EXAMPLE dammit. A picture is worth a thousand words, show us you're serious about the benefits of wearing masks. We can hear your voice through a mask.

1. A good idea.
Also, television ads with groups of people in them should depict them masked. I'm frustrated that no ads do that, so far.

2. Please consider....
That some deaf people prefer to read lips rather than captions.

3. And a lot of the time the on-the-fly captioning
is just wrong. I'm a hearing person, and I invariably cringe when I see those kinds of captions.

5. Yup...
I know a guy that does captioning for a living. Live auto-captioning is routinely and hilariously wrong.

With the cast wearing masks. Premier of NCIS New Orleans did last night.

6. Superstore
They began this season with a pandemic episode. They wear masks intermittently through the episodes.

7. Almost all of the people I see on TV, on PBS,
are broadcasting from their own homes, alone in a room with just their computer.

10. Yea that's true
Also when they are in studio there is almost no one in the studio. In fact the studio where Lester Holt does the nightly news is just him inside a surprisingly small space with robotic cameras. I think you wear masks in situations where it’s warranted and when they are in their own home or in a studio by themselves they’re not necessary.

8. Get masks on people in commercials
I was watching football on Sunday and watching commercials of people working in offices without masks, at stores without masks, even eating indoors at restaurants with no masks on the servers.
The illusion of normalcy is killing us. Stop the illusion. |

9. Thank you for reminding us of commercials, they are guilty as charged
The "illusion of normalcy" is killing us. Is spot on!
