I think if this had been the old news24/news channel days people would have laughed it off more as there was that more relaxed/familiar approach. One only has to think of Simon Mccoy who q admitted he used to put pads of paper on the autocue and of course the whole Thomaz situation.
That relaxed approach has been lost and as a result it’s harder to laugh these things off especially as there seems to be so many of these small incidents of things not going right anymore and that the standards seem to be slipping. 
IMO it’s just more evidence that the channel no longer has that good will towards it that there once was as isn’t really what any audience wants.
