Someone at a television station in the Detroit metro area made a huge mistake that has internet conspiracy theorists losing their minds and has raised more than a few eyebrows.
Just like in past elections, television stations prepare graphics packages that they will use when presenting the results of the election. During Tuesday’s episode of “The Bachelorette”, a video engineer who probably no longer has a job must have accidentally hit a wrong button and displayed the results of next week’s election.
It’s like a short glimpse into the future.
Fox News Reports:
Viewers who tuned in to Tuesday’s episode of “The Bachelorette” in Detroit were shocked to see results mistakenly displayed on screen for next week’s presidential election.
As the drama unfolded between Clare and Yosef on the reality show, viewers took to social media to note that WXYZ-TV seemed to accidentally post 2020 election results during the broadcast on the left side of the screen. The display showed President Donald Trump had defeated his opponent, Joe Biden, in the state. It also showed projections for several other local races despite Election Day being a week away.
WXYZ-TV told Fox news in a statement that the results were randomly generated as part of a test of the system they’ll use on the actual Election Day that was mistakenly broadcast during “The Bachelorette.”
What do you think of the results? Do you think they already have everything planned out or was this just an honest mistake?
