One teleprompter to rule them all!

Good job news reporters, keeping a straight face and all. Just watch the teleprompter, not the inside feed.

Cain hasn't even begun. And lo, not a Teleprompter in sight.

I'm waiting out the reign of the ninnyhammers of this corrupt regime, along with the rest of the country.

If only socialism could prove its superiority with results instead of rhetoric!

@quantumushroom
Cain just got done showing us his mental capacity.
Please continue showing us yours.

Shep is actually the good guy over at Fox News. When he is not reading the Fox-sponsored teleprompter, he is pretty amicable.

>> ^JiggaJonson:

Awww Shepard Smith doesn't belong in that bunch.

He's off teleprompter.

Awkward!

It sure looks like he's reading his answers from a teleprompter.

this is pretty brutal.the raw footage makes it even more visceral.
this is technically snuff but with redeeming value in the sense of staring horror in the face.
and this IS horror.
the horror of fundamentalism.
the horror that a group-think mentality fueled by religious dogma could so easily persuade a human being to take a bat to another human beings head while the onlookers cheer.
the horror that these very same people believe with all their hearts they are doing "gods work" and are justified in their brutality perpetrated on another human being.
the horror that maybe another fundamentalist from another religion may watch this and feel a sense of duty to pick up a gun or some other weapon and stand as a "holy warrior" to enact a justice demanded by "their god" against the muslim zealot.
the horror of the cycle of the fundamentalists justifications and rationalizations to perpetrate atrocities against their fellow man all in the name of "god".
this is not holy.
this is not sacred.
there is no justification.
there can be no rationalization.
this is murder.
this is horror.
so look in to face of religious zealotry and know horror.

or maybe you would prefer a pretty face reading from a teleprompter?
and you can gasp in shock at the atrocity while never actually having to LOOK at it.
never having to come too close...
or see too much...
and while you may be aware there is evil in the world,
it is far away and no where near your tiny,safe and small little world.
if that is the case well then go back to sleep little one.
everything is ok in your little bubble of existence and the boogeyman resides far away from your shores.
go back to the mind numbing game shows and american idol.
go back to your 9 to 5 while your soul slowly bleeds out.
repost your favorite cat video on facebook and comment on some arbitrary and pointless poll and pat yourself on the back for your "contributions to society".
go back to sleep.

Was he on a teleprompter?

>> ^MarineGunrock:

Yeah: "He who warned the British that they [the British] weren't going to be taking away our arms..."
Or: "Paul Revere, who warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms."
What is so difficult about this? Why did you quote me and repeat that quote? What are you trying to accomplish?

>> ^MarineGunrock:
No, I think she actually meant that she warned the British that they wouldn't be taking our guns. Notice how she never utters the phrase "are coming"?>> ^marbles:
@MarineGunrock
Like how it's painfully clear Obama's a pompous stooge whenever he's talking without his teleprompter?
Of course it's a failure to articulate. Like you have a failure to think critically--so you actually believe she meant: Revere warned the British that the British were coming to take our arms?


"He who, warned uh, tha, [pause] the British that they [the British] weren't going to be taking away our arms..."

What I can't understand is that they have a whole week to prepare, plus lots of people and writers to spread the workload:

1. Why can't they learn their few lines by heart, at least for some sketches, like theatre-folk can?
2. Why are they not as funny with one week preparation as John Stewart (insert Late nighter of your choice) is with one day preparation, if everyone reads off the teleprompter anyway?

(Yes I realise it is live, but the jokes/sketches really could be better with a week preparation)
