Silencing or Technical Glitch?
I leave General Conference with a number of unanswered questions.
1) Why was the live feed cut during the witness on the Plenary Floor?
2) Why did it take six hours to place the witness online?
3) Why did the version of the witness placed online remove the introduction by
Bishop J. Lawrence McClesky and
Bishop Gregory Palmer, President of the Council of Bishops? (update - added 5/13 to include longer version)
4) Why were the cameras removed from the Bishops approaching the table at the end of the witness?
After the witness on the Plenary Floor, I walked over to the press room to obtain a copy of the witness. I was told by a well dressed lady, "We did not stream it live so we don't have any footage." That is when I discovered that the feed had been cut and that my partner in Chicago had not seen what had happened on the Plenary Floor.
In a Press Conference about the witness, Rev. Gail Murphy-Geiss stated that it was lack of communication and technical glitches in the heat of negotiation that resulted in the coverage problems.
I'm not sure.
