MANAGED SLAPSTICK

I was watching a news report on MSNBC and the anchor female was interviewing a dame who had just given American Airlines her two cents worth after she received some sort of phony award she said. You should’ve seen it. The anchor didn’t interrupt near enough. I mean if you’re going to do it why not go hog wild. But she interrupted, surely, blabbing and cutting in. She kept telling the stewardess dame how much time she had left, like will you hurry the crap up we’ve got 10 seconds.

If you want fun watch breathless anchors juggle an interview. That’s entertainment. The interviewee wants to finish her most important thought and the anchor hacks her off. But the ploy that shows you’re a complete STAY LOOSE broadcast leader is to just keep on interrupting. Why stop? After all we’re not going to hear a complete thought anyway so why not lets just accept it.

News programs are actually underplayed slapstick. The anchorwomen are continually over-stressing their exact diction like they are in some sort of stage play and shouting at the audience. Why don’t they mouth their words even more you would think. Don’t do it halfway. If they’re going to do it, do it. Show us some leadership why don’t they and go hair-brained overboard. Remember if they take interrupting others to the max it’s a true exercise in headship because how many would think that could ever be leadership. That’s what STAY LOOSE leadership is. It’s taking something—anything, and going to the uttermost max with it. Do it with this and you’re a STAY LOOSE type as you lead doing stupid stuff.
