THE FIVE - Juan Williams Earpiece
ME | 10/20/20 | Plain and Simple

Posted on 10/20/2020 5:10:20 AM PDT by Plain and Simple

Why did Juan Williams have an earpiece in his right ear during Monday's show? Was he being fed his opinions or is he hard of hearing?

He was taking orders from the Ministry of Propaganda.

Considering that Juan is a walking, talking vegetable, I’m betting on earpiece feeding him opinions.

They all have ear pieces, they are always in contact with their producers, you just first noticed that?

Heh, he also has a brainpiece because he’s most certainly hard of thinking.

The term is “dumb*ss”.

It is called the IFB, all TV hosts have one, the Director can give them cues, spots, graphics, etc. it’s normal.

I think they all have earpieces to get direction from the producer/director.

In case you didn’t know, all these shows are scripted.

He may be ‘hard of hearing’ but he is definitely ‘hard of thinking’!

It’s called an IFB. It allows the producers/director to talk with talent to give updates on time, commercial breaks, and to hear the audio from interviews.

He’s hard of hearing.

Just look at his opinions and how he doesn’t modify them when presented with actual facts.

How about answering your opinions on this thread instead of private messages.

Everyone that goes on TV has an earpiece, they all get instructions from a producer.

Did you just get a TV?

It’s how hosts hear from the director. This is how they know which camera to look at, when to wrap it up, and if there are any other stage directions.

Every anchor/person on TV news has them.

The Conspiracy bug is deep in your head. Lol.

Apparently, a lot of people don’t realize that all of these shows are scripted performances.
