If you think they air every second that they talked to the guy for, you'd be very mistaken. News production doesn't work that way and never has.

Get him talking about how important it is to secure the top of the tank, then cut to something else that isn't really news like the results of the latest dancing with the stars episode, cut to commercial, repeat.
I know that. My comment was about the fact that no one involved in the production of this news story realized that this is a python and not a boa. Not the reporter, not their fact checkers, not the random hump they interviewed. This is a very sad comment on our new media - as if we didn't realize already that they're incompetent.
