In recent years, there has been an increasing trend among television channels to significantly reduce the cost of the programs they broadcast, which has obvious consequences for the quality of the result that comes out on the small screen. This trend is demonstrated once again by an incident that took place recently on television. Specifically, a reporter in North Carolina, Justin Hinton, forgot to disable the eccentric and funny Facebook filters that he had used on Facebook Live Mystery Mask before appearing on television to broadcast a weather report on an unusual snowfall in the area.
Justin Hinton had no idea the filters were still on after the weather forecast for Asheville, North Carolina, began for the city's first heavy snowfall. For areas where heavy snowfall is not a common occurrence and drivers are not accustomed to extreme weather conditions like slippery roads, such weather forecasts can be a good and useful way to remind those who can't avoid the roads to be extra careful while driving.
The technicians ' attempts to save the situation were unsuccessful, resulting in Hinton's head and face displaying various funny Facebook filters throughout the live broadcast of the weather report, such as a pirate hat, a helmet, giant gray eyes, and a makeover inspired by the recent Hollywood hit , Cats.
As soon as the weather report ended, Hinton began to suspect that something had gone wrong, given the barrage of messages and comments he received on Facebook from the television audience who had watched live . Fortunately, the filters were not particularly intrusive, and while it took Hinton some time to realize his mistake, there is no doubt that most people had already seen another aspect of his journalistic skills, given that the video had already begun to make its way around the internet.
