        Probably being filmed.
        It’s rare that filming will want the same feed as is going to a PA. Sometimes they have to due to logistics, but they will moan about it

            If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
            If it’s a “feel of being live” that’s required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

            Maybe the records aren’t set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn’t able to provide a clean feed.
            The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don’t have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
            And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

            Better to have an independent feed.

            But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he’s gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity

    It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, “It wasn’t a Nazi salute, watch I’ll show you,” and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

        I’m sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.

    I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

      Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

      Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

    I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn’t like women becoming ordained.

      Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.

      Anglican Catholic Church

      The church part of the name isn’t what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).

    Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!

    I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.

    “While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson’s heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition,” reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. “Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.”

    Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

    Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.

    Ah yes. Elon’s salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it’s just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it’s a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?

    Ah yes it’s a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it’s completely harmless and very mundane.

      Yeah, stop giving Elon a perpetual boner by calling this an “Elon” salute. Give credit where credit is due. Like you could say, I just took a giant Elon and everyone would indeed know what you meant, but you really should just say you took a big shit.
