In fairness to Ms. Mitchell, isn’t it possible some 20-something news producer, in-between chewing bubble gum and using ‘awesome’ four times in one sentence, made the executive decision that they would break in with this stunning news announcement?
I wouldn’t doubt it, Don. Unfortunately, it was Andrea’s reputation that took the hit.
Excellent point, Jeremy. Sadly, most people don’t realize the flotilla of people in TV news making these behind-the-scenes decisions… maybe Andrea was too much of a ‘pro’ (or just lapsed into that state of Justin Bieber Euphoria that comes over all of us).
