The clock struck six tonight and I wasn’t sick of cable news yet! Wow. I put on CNN. 6:00 PM means “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”
In this week after the Democratic Convention the ‘room’ got a makeover. Wolf got new frames too. That’s a mini makeover. It’s sad I noticed both on Monday. I officially have no life!
Tonight toward the end of the show there was a panel discussion. As the director called for an awkwardly framed wide shot I noticed something weird on the side of the set. It looks like a chrome steering wheel with a knob we used to call a “spinner” back in the pre-power steering days.
Is someone driving the desk in the Situation Room? Maybe the desk is height adjustable?
I have no clue, but if you do let me know. It’s just weird.
By the way, I’m not so sure about Wolf’s frames yet.
Maybe that desk is on casters and the wheel raises the casters to lower the desk onto the floor of the studio?
It is so obvious I’m surprised you did not figure it out. If the show drifts too far to the left it pulls it back closer to center.
I rarely watch CNN any more, but last time, I DID notice the wheel crank.
I asked around, and evidently it raises or lowers the desk based on who is sitting there.
sorry, can’t disclose my sources.
cnn is such lefty garbage…I watched a show tonight where they were still crying about Trumps loss and “fake news” …meanwhile, I counted five different mis-truths (“Pinocchios”) they told in the 5 minute segment…Fake news complaining about fake news…what a bunch of pre-madonna human trash they all are at cnn
I am watching from Canada… are there any balanced news stations??
What’s with the wheel???
