[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1171777, member: 43436"] I don't fault the anchor. Anchors typically don't receive a "script" of the news broadcast, but rather read off teleprompters and ad lib conversational elements. In watching the broadcast, it's clear by her hesitation & change in her tone that she suspected something was up. Given that an apology was quickly pieced together (within 15 minutes), it's likely she and/or others in the studio recognized what was going on. The maroon is the person(s) who fell for the joke, and the NTSB intern (who apparently recognized the joke, but didn't take the call seriously). Most television newsrooms have heavily cut staffing in recent years, relying on technology & automation (3-5 people can do the work than 30-50 did just ~10 years ago) to cut costs to compensate for the fact that TV news revenues have been declining for years. It's possible that one gullible person was behind this, and his/her superior just signs off on their work. [/QUOTE]
