Did anyone else catch it? FOX NEWS carried live...
Bush and Chirac in prepared statements with Q&A at the Elysee Palace.
Here is the odd thing: while I was listening, suddenly there ws an audio bleed thru while BushBaby gave his prepared words in advance of throwing to reporters.
The bleed thru was in advance of his words, not his voice - at first I thought it was the bleed thru of both original transmission and delay but no different voice - but his words.
Then he would track, repeat the words with tiny differences, breaths taken at different times.
I really realised what was happening as he threw it to reporters and the voice spoke the name of the first American reporter he took a question from, and Bush called on that reporter by name.
As it moved into Q&A, the "prompting" disappeared.
Here is the interesting thing... I turned on CNN a bit later and in a clip recapping (CNN did not cover live the other two did...) the presser,
and damn if their clip did not include the "prompts". Still there in the taped replay. I wonder if having bled thru, it is stuck in the audio, until it is electronically scrubbed.
Anyway ti was fascinating. I quickly popped it into a post I was making in a thread at the time, but I think it went unread...
It was stellar TV. It surely appeared to be prompts.
