This is a Short(s) Story

It’s a good bet that KDKA (Pittsburgh) Sports Anchor Bob Pompeani did not expect the camera to shoot him from this angle.

I guess my question is, why would the control take that shot?

Also, it’s a good thing the lower third is talking about the female Anchor’s wardrobe, because it it was mentioning Pompeani’s it would be a bit awkward to say the least.
