CNN reporter Miguel Marquez was in Baltimore yesterday reporting on the chaos and destruction, but there was one thing that stood out from his on-camera appearances — his cellphone.

As in, he seemed to always have it to his ear during his reports:

But why? And who is he talking to?

Just tuned into the CNN Coverage of the Baltimore Riots…. my first thought is why is the reporter talking on his cell phone?

I bet that phone has fused with @miguelmarquez’s ear by now. He can probably just let go.
