Was it a mistake or an editor who had simply had enough of his thankless job? Who knows? But an unedited audio file featuring 'reporter' Lisa Dwyer-Shapiro of The Associated Press was uploaded to the ‘news’ giant’s website recently. It offers a funny inside peek into how difficult it is for an AP employee to read a few simple sentences.
Have a listen. (WATCH)

If anyone ever thought they didn't have what it takes to be a podcaster because they stumble their words too much, there is hope. 😅

These are the people who think they're smarter than you.

Exactly. They want to preach to us? Morons…..the lot of ‘em. 🤨

Our ‘betters’ can’t handle a simple script without tripping up multiple times.
Posters took notice and offered a few biting observations.
It's so forced & manufactured that not even their own journalists can authentically read the script 😂

And they wonder why the Left has a hard time producing podcasts?
She undoubtedly didn't write it or contribute. She's just a glorified voice with no soul.

If she did write the copy, it looks even worse for her.
Posters had questions. How is this so difficult to get through? Doesn’t she do this for a living?
How is she THIS BAD??

It's literally her job and she's done it for years.
How much are they paying her again???
Wow, a person that talks into a mic for a living. Pretty choppy there with those multi-syllable words.

Omg 😱 she cant even say her own name at the end without going back and correcting herself!

What is she on?!
You know someone is losing it when they can’t even say their own name.
Commenters really hated the fake voice she was using. Could that be what’s messing her up?
You could tell that all she cared about was how much her voice sounded like a “newscaster”.

Holy crap her forced accent is something

Sit back and just inhale all that authenticity 🤤

Maybe it would be easier if they just spoke in a normal voice

It’s amazing how much of the ‘news’ industry is built on being fake. Maybe scripts would be easier to read if being authentic were the focus instead.
