Speech interrupted

By ConnPolitics.tv Editor on Jan 7, 2009 | In News, Gov. Jodi Rell | 4 feedbacks »

Governor Rell had to pause her State of the State address this afternoon after a photographer for one of the television stations passed out during her speech.

House floor

State Capitol Police rushed to the area where several of the stations have camera locations and found photographer John Roache on the floor. EMTs were summoned and quickly came to his aid. A state representative seated near the cameras gave the ‘thumbs up’ to indicate that Roache was okay.

Before she resumed her speech, Governor Rell said, “I know that everyone knows that this is a somber speech, but I apologize that it actually made someone faint, but he’ll get better.

John Roache is a veteran WFSB photographer and his assignment manager tells News Channel 8 he is undergoing tests at Hartford Hospital but seems to be okay.

Then WTNH viewers had the speech interrupted again when WTNH felt is was more important to get the soap operas on in time then to continue their live coverage -- way to bring the important info to the citizens of Connecticut... Lucky, I was able to finish watching the speech on WVIT 30.. Some news agencies have their priorities in better order than others do.

Once again I have to ask where you get the idea that they run a news organization????.

The HACKS at WTNH exist only to promote all things ABC/Disney and wave the pom poms for "B. HUSSEIN OBLABLABLA" if there is any time left over.

For kicks they like to scare the bejeezus out of all the simpletons out there every time a few flakes of snow fall.

ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!!
Snow in January in Connecticut!!!
GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!!

Shheesh

I have to admit all the TV stations "meteorologists" are doomsayers,and not awfully good at what they do.
