Let’s not bow down to our future robot overlords quite yet!
It’s been over a year since “Oklahoma’s own” News 9 laid off most of its own Oklahoma production staff in favor of automated tools and robotic operators, and, well, it looks like they’re still struggling to figure things out.
We obtained via the Ogle Mole Network video of News 9 anchor Sylvia Corkill getting visibly upset and frustrated during this past Saturday night’s 6pm news.
According to our Mole, Sylvia was hit with a coughing attack at the beginning of the broadcast which, I assume, caused whichever Homer Simpson was overseeing the production robots to hit the wrong emergency relief valve or something.
I guess this threw off the automated timing of the teleprompter and left a visibly angry and directionless Sylvia to figure things out on the fly, and – rather unsuccessfully – try to improv her way through the news.
