They are not good with numbers, these people.

I had a pharmacology professor say “it doesn’t matter if something is 99% safe if you’re the other 1%”. If you have an adverse reaction, if your love one dies/ends up in a coma/etc, nobody cares about how safe it is for someone else.

Once again, for emphasis.

See, here’s where you fucked up: You’re trying to apply any kind of logic to the pro-lifers and their wildly inconsistent belief system.

And nothing about timing made her throw in the bullshit framing of:

I worked in television for decades. A couple things about what you said:

She took more sentences and time to explain why there was going to be a break than it would have taken Tom Brokaw to finish his thoughts and I don’t believe for a second she would have done that if he was bleating about how wonderful the NRA is.

Boom, Bobby!

I’ve worked at NBC News several years ago and the producer and director in the control room can make decisions to go past the “hard stops” and do it frequently if there is a compelling enough topic being aired. Think of it like Breaking News. Have you ever seen breaking news get interrupted by a commercial or is it…

Wow, talk about coming with receipts. This person really pulled up the operations schedule 😂

if she was truly worried about a hard break, she could have just apologized to Brokaw for cutting him off, thanked him, and threw it to commercial, instead of shoehorning in a right wing talking point.

Thank you for this response and she also could’ve come back from the break and continued the conversation. Bumping people is done all the time on live TV shows and she knows it.

Ok. Sure. Gotta feed the beast. Got it. Networks and their sponsors and all that. make the money...

Yeeeeeeah I would be more inclined to be understanding if she hadn’t shoved in the “and there are some people who defend the 2nd amendment and who say you can’t legislate against evil” at the end there.

We’ve informally reached out to a few people who work in TV news who confirm there isn’t a specific hard break until the end of the hour. This break occurred during the show’s first half.

The way she cut him off though is not a good transition. And she had enough time to throw her own retort in there. Saying “got it” to end an interview/move on is awkward and comes across as rude.

Except even with that hard break looming, Kelly still squeezed in two explanations of having a hard break as well as an opposing opinion. I’m guessing she say she was relatively close to the hard break and decided to use that as an excuse to cut Brokaw off.

You know who else knows how it works? TOM FUCKING BROKAW.

TERRORIST . TERRORISM . Call this act and monster by its name . A 64 white terrorist. How anyone could be this evil is mind boggling.
