"What does that mean? Martorano said after reading from the screen. It means they don't want us to focus on this, the crew member could be heard telling him. Martorano appeared both amused and mildly irritated by the request. He raised his eyebrows, took a moment, and said, Alright, well I am."
"There's a lot of mixed opinions across Austin about the joint attack between the united states and Israel against Iran that happened earlier this morning. Some people like this group behind me are thanking Trump and the United States government for following through with this attack against Iran, while other people across the city say there needs to be more peace in the Middle East."
CBS Austin reporter Vinny Martorano received a directive via phone during a live Facebook broadcast not to focus coverage on a rally celebrating U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. After being informed of the instruction, Martorano expressed mild irritation and proceeded with his reporting anyway. He covered the rally, which featured supporters waving American and Iranian flags while chanting support for President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Martorano reported on the mixed opinions across Austin regarding the joint attack, noting that some rally attendees supported the strikes while others advocated for increased Middle Eastern peace efforts.
