You Really Want Me Do My Job?

This Is Glorious...When the news broke yesterday that the Supreme Court had issued a stay, temporarily delaying the sale of Chrysler to Fiat, Fox Business Network (FBN) wanted to tell you about it, but they just didn't know what to say. Liz Claman was anchoring the 3-4pm hour when a producer told her what had happened. (My guess is she's talking to him or her when she says "define that please.")

Claman then proceeded to toss to not one but two other FBN reporters who had no idea what to say. The first, Tracey Byrnes, responded with, "I think you want...Robert." Robert Gray was not who she wanted, at least in retrospect, as he had no knowledge of the situation either. In all fairness, I doubt this is the fault of the on-air talent. It sounds like a control room breakdown, in that none of the FBN producers could tell any of them what was going on or who had what information.
