A Comment About PAC14

It may not be illegal, but last night at 8 on pac 14 there was an airing of an Ireton Comegys debate/speech and on the silent screen was printed with an apology that Jim Ireton's opening speech would not have any audio. they didnt close caption it either. it seemed to work fine when comegy's began to talk.

Tech problems do happen.

But ever notice how it is never to Barrie or her people?

No, Joe, it's not illegal. The Dark Force, maybe, but not illegal.

(Feel sorry for the PAC14 guys. Sure they wouldn't do anything intentional. But in this political climate, a sneeze would look sinister.)

First of all, I don't get PAC14. Secondly, PAC14 has pulled this kind of crap in the past. Remember 2 years ago when Salisbury News was in the Christmas Parade, they had 2 cameras working the parade and mysteriously we were deleted from the program.

everything is a conspiracy then? Or do you think it might have been an honest tech problem this time?

anonymous 9:46,

Absolutely not! No technical glitch! If that were the case they wouldn't have run it.

A level playing field is important. If there was no audio for Ireton's opening, they should have cut the opening segments for both candidates.

And now PAC14 want's to shed any oversight by the City and County Councils -- NO WAY

It was a technical problem. But just as you aren't providing any evidence other than your word, neither am I. So really this whole thing is pointless. I know the truth. And you think you know the truth.

anonymous 11:02, Like it was said earlier, you shouldn't run it at all then. Because you did, you're full of crap. Some might say PAC14 is a FOB.

Tech problems happen, but then YOU EDIT IT OUT!!!!!!! You do not let one candidate get more time than the other, period. That is a matter of basic fairness, and if you had 2 brain cells to rub together you would be able to acknowledge that.

11:54 looks like you should take over PAC14!!

durrrrr two brains cells to rub to gethers.....DURRRR where do I plug the brain cells to rub them together????maybe I but them in the aux buss? or the main out? or wait channel one? maybe that condenser mic is where it goes?

You wanna talk tech....bring it. Otherwise sit down and shut up. Your ragging on some hard working people and a situation you know nothing about.

Hey 12:01,
Take your single brain cell a reread what I wrote, moron. You should not talk about what you do not know, which is simple fairness. The issue is not whether tech problems happen (and by the way, I know my way around a studio), but what you do once they happen. A professional does not put out a product where the audio is screwed up. So you want to talk professinalism? Bring it. Otherwise, go back and learn how to test the audio before the interview begins.

Damn people! The fact is the audio got screwed up during the live recording. Anyone at the forum can attest to that. Jim's mic wasn't working correctly at first. Sh!t happens but you can't fix it now. It had nothing to do with Gary. I still wouldn't vote for him though.

I'm sure you do know your way around a studio. But you need to learn your way around some manners. Insulting people just shows your true stupidity.

1:20 is in reference to 12:37 not 12:01

while it may not be a conspiracy, it should not be aired if all sides arent audible or visible or whatever. that was the point of the event in the first place for each side to have a chance to be heard

Do I need to point out how funny it is to accuse someone of being stupid for insulting someone in a message that insults someone and then has to have a corrective right after it? Wow, that might be a new record!
