Priceless ABC blooper

Won’t bother with the ‘Twit’, but I remember first seeing this gal 3 years ago on Lateline when Mr. Jones was away, and I thought she was fresh and interesting. Quite bold, too, which is good for a current affairs show because it draws the interviewee to be forthright.
Apparently she’s made some mistakes on air i.e. when she’s at work, but that’s OK, cause I or anyone else who is prone to respond here, has never made a mistake at all.

Maybe it was Michael Rowland…

Trioli should never be allowed to work in front of a camera again. This birk is obviously not able to control herself and is an embarrassment to the ABC, her workmates and herself.

Excellent, reading the auto cue without a stumble. Quick thinking and not a stumble. Anyone less talented would have aborted the reading with very embarrassing consequences.
What a fabulous professional

Unlike the young female reporter I heard on local radio over the weekend.  Tried three times to start her news report before saying, “I’m sorry, I can’t read my handwriting…” and the quickly cut back to the newsreader.

There was a Sky News report over the weekend - something happend at Wallacia…but on the first spool the news reader said “Fellatio”. Lucky for rewind live TV cause I couldn’t believe it haha

The blokes and sheilas down here at Buggerup reckon Virginia is Michael R
owlands in drag. And she is not an ABC leftie but A GREEN!! Uggh.  Also that “News show” is a good warm up for Play school.

Professional to just keep on trucking? Or just plain too stupid to realise it?

Joel B1 says:

I see Virginia’s mug (yes, that pic)  on the Guardian (UK) comments page all the time. Either she’s got a sense of humour or someones being a bit mean.

Well, she might have mistaken herself for another presenter, but at least she didn’t mistake the death of a TV character for news.

For all the time they’ve had to get their s… into gear you’d hope to god that it wasn’t some autocue fault. But seeing the way-too-frequent-for-serious-television errors I’m close to declaring that I’ve seen better quality production from a university news team or (I guess, redundantly) Channel 31

She made a mistake, didn’t harm anyone, obviously “Charles” and “Mr. Gray” have never made a mistake in their lives, perhaps they should sit in front of a national audience and read the news, how many mistakes later might we get the story? Love “Monty’s” comment, yes perhaps we should all look on the bright side of life!

Virginia Trioli, Deborah Cameron and Fran Kelly, the Witches of Pyrmont

She looks like a paid up member of The Loony Left

I love Virginia Trioli! she spices things up, what a minx

Shane says:

I hope she was professional enough to realise her mistake but not let on.

I keep flashing on Frontline, however, and suspect that she was in a reading trance, and didn’t even notice

A funny thing happened to me the other day on Twitter:

I would love ABC News 24 if it wasn’t for Virginia Trioli. What a painful individual.
@MattOsborn Seriously? I think she’s lovely! vt
@LaTrioli hahaha, I’m sure you are. It’s just the last two interviews I’ve seen you do were more abrasive than perhaps necessary.
@MattOsborn The job does require a little steel… But I hear you! vt
@LaTrioli I’m sure it does and I’m sure that having a cup of tea with you would be more enjoyable than being interviewed!

Strange that she would respond to this. I thought most TV types would adopt the Oscar Wilde mantra - the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Agreed Matt she is excruciatingly painful to watch, your not alone with this view, its a view shared by many, She would be more suited to DEAL or NO DEAL show as one of the drones holding a briefcase at the start of the show   Perhaps they can add an extra case number 27 to accommodate.

Huh I watched this and didnt see the incident…...

The 40 second mark just shows the abc news 24 intro…..

@ Sam

Try at the 44 second mark then. Seriously, did you just stop it after 40 seconds?
