Actually, I was listening to the AM radio station of a local media network, where there was a male anchor at the studio and two female reporters on the site (the Senate). The presiding officer of the impeachment hearing, who is the Senate President, had ordered a short break in the session as some concerns were being decided upon for the prosecution side. The two reporters of the radio station had gone to interviewing some personalities who were watching the proceedings at the Senate’s gallery. As they were on air asking questions to people they could talk in the gallery, someone talking in the background (I think it was the Senate President) suddenly announced the suspension of the hearing for another day, apparently to give time to the prosecutors to present their case as some problems occurred with their presentation that afternoon.

The male anchor at the radio station was quite frantically asking (on air) his two field reporters on what happened and why the hearing was being suspended when earlier only a break was announced. The reporters couldn’t give a straight answer because they said they were also caught unaware of what happened. They said that they were already quite far at that time from the main room where the hearing was being held. The radio anchor was asking them to clarify things, especially for the benefit of the listeners. At this point, another voice was heard booming on the radio. Their news boss Mr. Mike was giving instructions to the two reporters to, in short, get their act together and find out what happened, like why the hearing was suspended and who ordered the suspension. Mike is usually hyperactive, whether in his early morning radio news program or his prime-time TV news show. But the Mike I suddenly heard intervening on the radio (”intervening” because Mike had no radio show that afternoon and I felt he had to rush to the radio booth from his office at that time) to give instructions to the two seemingly clueless reporters was, I think, just trying to keep his temper and trying his best not to “shout” at the two reporters for their seeming carelessness in doing their work. In many words, Mike was saying that the two reporters were missing out in reporting to the people the immediately developing events right under their noses all because they strayed away from the main impeachment hearing area and were busy interviewing basically any Tom, Dick, Harry, Susan, Beth that they could grab along the way.
