CNN, the self-proclaimed “Worldwide Leader in News” continues to raise the standard in broadcasting excellence… as long as you’re not paying attention.
As The Atlantic Wire pointed out this morning, Ashleigh Banfield of CNN joined Nancy Grace (of Headline News) for an exclusive “remote” interview about the Cleveland kidnapping case.
From Phoenix.
In front of the same building.
Notice the same staircase exists in the background for both reporters.
Well, wait, isn’t that the exact same parking lot…?
No, surely it couldn’t be. Banfield and Grace wouldn’t conduct a “remote” from the same location, right?
Oh wait, yes they would. It IS the exact same parking lot. Notice, if you will, that a bus passes through both of their shots during the interview.
Coincidence? You be the judge.
Yep. Grace and Banfield broadcast a split-screen, “remote” interview while being a few yards away from each other in the same parking lot in Phoenix at the exact same time.
