I demand this video is removed and all discussion of video classified from boards.ie at once. Cyber bullying, ridiculed, legal ramifications, blablabla.

See admins, this is the double standards people spoke about in kpmg girl feedback thread.

You are actually.

Everyone on TV wears make-up. Men and women. People look dead without it. And it's common for newscasters to apply their own.

The whole "point" of the funny is the fact that he was caught off-guard and his reaction with the word "what".

Solair

I can't see the clip, but to be fair all TV presenters wear make up on air and most of the guys carry their own powder packs and all that stuff.

TV studio lighting will pick up every pore, sweat bead, etc etc so they've really no option other than to dust down the face every so often.

If you're not wearing make up, you'll basically look like death warmed up / really sweaty looking.

It's a gallery screw up rather than the presenter as that shouldn't have been aired. The presenter was just doing his job.

There's an clip of Sharon ni B. on YouTube too doing her make up. Again, that's a gallery / switching error as the camera shouldn't have been on air. She's no choice but to do last min checks of hair/make up before going live. You'd just normally be able to rest assured the camera wasn't live on air!

As for the Russian presenter. There's a printer under the desk and he was probably grabbing script. Normally, in rolling news there's a laser printer or two under the desk. The autocue / teleprompter script is printed onto paper in case of any issues and the presenter grabs the hard copies from the printer.

I suspect he was just reaching under the desk. It just looked a bit unfortunate given the content that had just aired.

I think part of the problem is that the news format on RTE and some other channels is so starchy that minor glitches look totally jarring and are really noticible.

Where as on a rolling news / more relaxed format, it's quite possible to reach down for papers / stumble slight on a script / not cut live to a report and it's just glossed over.

When RTE make an error like that in a bulletin it stands out like a sore thumb because there's an expectation of a flawless starchy performance.

The switching errors are pretty basic stuff though. You don't put the wrong camera out on air

ITS_A_BADGER

Thats priceless! just found it on youtube there again.
Link for anyone that missed it

Solair

Eh, that's just the presenter checking their all good to go in the monitor.

The alternative is you go on air with your hair standing up on one side, your tie crooked or something or something stuck to your face.

You're basically watching the TV newscaster equivalent of fixing your hair in the bathroom mirror.

Presenting Six One with a lump of spaghetti on your face would be FAR worse

There's clearly something technical wrong if the on-air light is not coming on on the camera to warn them it's live!

Normally a large red lamp comes on to tell you the camera's live.

I'd also suspect the resources for News Now are rather limited compared to the main bulletins !
