LIVE NEWS (PART II): THEY'VE ALMOST GOT IT FIGURED OUT

How come national news programs are having so many technical difficulties these days with audio? First, we had a news anchor in the bathroom interrupting one of Dubya speech for several minutes.

And now, during playback Hillary Clinton's interview, the audio goes out, and we're immediatley patched into the panicked voices of producers in the control booth screaming for someone... anyone to address the situation! Here's a question, why not have the audio go SILENT if/when the principle sound fails? Oh well, we're only FIFTY PLUS YEARS INTO THIS TECHNOLOGY. I'm sure they'll start making a plan someday.
