I wish the anchors would shut their mouths so we can also watch in silence

[RamonaAnne]

News anchors - shut up! You're ruining the moment of silence.

[katbarber]

This was meant to be a time of silence & the talking by the news people took that away from the moment. They should have been quiet, as well.

[msmuse]

It is totally disrespectful and disgusting that these news anchors can't shut their idiotic mouths to simply allow the viewer to watch and listen in silence. What is the point of announcing the pause is out of respect to Mr Carter's normal day, hearing the birds and the bell, and then having someone obliviously chatter inanely through the moment?

[Cam_Fasching]

We ALL so appreciate Georgia right now. Their Protection and Service to President Carter is So Great. Thank You Georgia Your Love Shines Thru.

“Now for a moment of silence.”

2 seconds later…..

“So here we are, enjoying the silence….”

[delledonne]

Such a fine man. He'll be sorely missed. Rest in Peace Mr. President.

[tktru]

Let’s pause for a moment a listen in.

Seconds later: HEAR THE SOUNDS OF THE BIRDS

A tad too much chat...commentators should know when to talk and when silence is warranted. Lovely tribute to this precious man...a true humanitarian.

Anchor tells us all about why Jimmy Carter wanted us to experience this moment of silence at his boyhood home -- then invites a guest to talk all through that moment.
