That news anchor coffee mug glitch made me double check EVERY livestream now

I saw that clip where the anchor's cup falls THROUGH the table and the fake desk edge is wobbling. It was on like channel 6 local news last month. Now I can't watch any news broadcast without staring at their desk edges and props for fakeness. Has anyone else gotten ruined by spotting one prop fail and now you see them everywhere?

Same here man. That clip is burned into my brain. Now I catch every ill-fitting green screen and wobbly backdrop during the weather report. Feels like half the set is just cardboard and bad lighting.

Same here, @mark_chen62. It's like once you see it you can't unsee it. Now I'm side-eyeing every weather map and news desk background.

Back when I drove for a local news station's delivery service, I went to pick up a package from their studio. Wandered past the morning show set and realized the whole thing was just fake bookshelves and a 3-foot section of real desk. The rest was plywood and dreams. Made me see every news broadcast different after that.
