He's curled over/extremely leaning over with hands clasped in front of him. It doesn't look like a power stance, which would be good posture, sitting up in his seat.
Can't get a picture yet because it just aired.

Otherwise it's just shit, shit, and more shit.

I don't see that as strength because Nora O'Donell is a pro.

(2,153 posts)He leans forward because 1) he wears lifts he cant cope with and 2) hes got frontotemporal dementia, and thats a specific posture denoting that Dx. I did acute care transcription for over 15 years and Im pretty confident its one of his major issues. Add in the CHF and probable Alzheimers (a family tradition), and hes pretty much toast. The only question is why he doesnt get the hell on with it and drop dead so we can all move on.

And yet, could also be some OCD thing he does to help him stay focused.
I can't access the article, so I'm guessing.
