So I'm watching this GOP Gala in NY whatever the heck that is and Trump's speech is first, then Kasich is 2nd...no issues at all. Then it's Cruz turn and after a few minutes the audio goes from hearing Cruz nice and clear to what sounded like they put another live mic in the kitchen or something. I kid you not you could hear dishes and silverware clanging together and people talking and all this was on a mic that was clearer and louder than the one Cruz was talking into up on stage. How embarrassing for Cruz...it looked so bad...like he was an "oh that other guy" kind of status. Well, who cares what he has to say...he doesn't like NY values. Felt so bad for him and then they just cut him off and Hannity comes on and says they were having audio problems and starts talking about Trump and goes to an interview with Corey Lewandowski. NY values I guess...rant over!

Yea, I caught that too.  I know nothing about sound systems, but it was like Cruz lost his mic at the podium and they had to pick it up from a different source that also picked up the noises in the ballroom.  It was a gala, so people were probably having dinner, is why you heard the dishes clanking and people talking. 

Done on purpose by a Trumpette do doubt.

Fox is becoming as bad as CNN. I quit watching them, and the rest of the bobble heads, years ago.

I decided to see what Rush had to say today. So I flipped Rush on and he is talking about it right now. He thinks something is quite fishy about it all. He doesnt seem to think it was all just an accident. Rush believes that someone sabotaged Cruz's speech.

Yea, also listening to Rush. I agree it was no accident. Classic NY liberal values. Gotta screw the conservative...

I have always set up two microphones so if something does go wrong you have a back up.  But then at my age I do believe in Murphy's Law.

Its not like one mic had an issue and autio went to another mic on the podium; it went to mics at the tables. All you heard is people eating, clanging of dishes, and Cruz faint in the back ground. Fox never said "oh theres a technical problem we are trying to fix" or anything like that. Cruz's speech continued like that for 5-10 more mins before Fox cut right to Hannity talking with Eric Bolling about Corey Lewandowski.

And now all day Fox is pushing the narrative that people were so bored by Cruz's speech that they were getting up and walking around talking to people instead of listening to Cruz, when in fact that never actually what was going on in the room during Cruz's speech.

I didn't see it so I am only going by what you'all and Rush are saying...

So what did Hannity say about it?


Will be interesting dipping into his show open to see what  excuses he makes up.

,..and on that note, it was nice to see Redstate call him out on all the water he is carrying for Trump......

So what did Hannity say about it?...

Cruz's speech that started during Kelly's show, bled over into Hannity's show for about ten minutes and Hannity broke in saying they were having audio trouble. 

He had on Eric Bowling and Kimberly Guilfoyle to talk about the speeches. They mostly talked about Trump's speech and his hiring of new campaign organizers.

Then I quit watching.  I think Bowling is in the tank for Trump as he's on several other FOX shows.

In the tank for Trump? Thats all? Its more so up Trumps ass than just being in the tank.

I can say with great confidence that every at Fox is in the tank for Trump except 4 people - Megyn Kelly, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Tom Shillue.

So what happened to Cruz last night is now happening to Rush on his show.

About 45 mins ago, Rush was talking and his mic cut out and there was a bunch of noise being heard with Rush faintly in the background. A listener called in and told Rush about it. Rush said that he didnt hear anything like that happen. The listener insisted it happened. - it happened, I heard it - Rush then said that Snerdly told him that nothing like that happened. Other listeners called and backed up the previous listeners claim that it happened but right after back up the original callers claim, the callers either hang up immediately or their call gets cut off. Snerdly continues to say nothing happened. Rush then states that he is getting emails from people within the radio studio that in fact it did happen. Rush seemed to get quite ticked at Snerdly, kind of implying that Snerdly better cut it out.

Im not sure if its legit happening and Rush is actually ticked or if its all an act being put on by Rush.

Hannity said NOTHING about the whole thing on his radio show
until 4:44 Eastern, when a caller brought it up.

Hannity then said that the problem was with the feed
from the people conducting the event,
and that Fox had nothing to do with it.

Do networks normally rely on feeds from event promoters,
or do they normally set up their own cameras and mics?

Hannity is spending his whole hour on TV tonight with Ted Cruz.
We can all see if it gets discussed then.

Here's the transcript of the subject on Rush's show.
Looks like it filled at least half the show.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/04/15/dirty_trick_cruz_audio_sabotaged_during_fox_news_broadcast_of_new_york_speech

Rush was very much of the opinion that the whole sabotage was planned.
Hannity dismissed the idea.

Levin really went off on Fox news, Rupert and his whole crew.   Hell, he cam close to even calling out Hannity.

I would love to hear them one on one on either of their programs and really talk about this election.

I don't buy it. If it was intentional then Fox screwed up the screw up.
