Reporting on live television will always be a risky business.

Live television leaves absolutely no room for error, thus putting reporters under a lot more pressure than usual.So reporters need to remain vigilant when reporting live...

Because even the tiniest of hiccups will likely humiliate them in front of the whole nation.It all sounds pretty stressful, doesn't it?

Well, one reporter suffered the most awkward technical error while she was live on air... And it has left the whole nation in stitches.This is Melinda Meza.
via: Twitter
A news reporter for KCRA TV which broadcasts all over the nation.Typically, she uses her platform as a journalist to tell some hard-hitting stories.
via: Twitter
From raising awareness about bullying in schools, all the way to providing her viewers with emotional tales, Meza has always been pretty professional in her role.However, this major blunder might have changed all that...
via: Twitter
Due to the ongoing pandemic, we know most people are stuck at home and that isn't any different for reporters. But one would assume you would take all precautions necessary when broadcasting from within your home...Not Melinda though...
via: Twitter
She threw caution to threw wind as she set up her camera in her bathroom... Strike one.She then proceeded to angle it so that it was pointing at the mirror...
via: Twitter
Strike two. I don't really think she understood how reflections work. Just because the camera isn't pointed directly at something, doesn't mean we can't see it, Melinda.And boy, did we see it all...
via: Twitter
If you know your husband is ready to have a shower during filming hours, you would kindly advise him to have it after the broadcast is done. Or, I don't know, maybe just film elsewhere? But Meza clearly didn't think this one through.And that led to her viewers getting more than just styling tips...

No one could believe what they were seeing. It might have just been a quick fifteen seconds, but they changed everything.As she cut her own bangs in front of the mirror, she said this:
via: Twitter
"So people won't have to do 'this' much longer... In Stockton, Melinda Meza, KCRA 3 News." She was completely oblivious that her husband's lower regions were visible to everyone... Everyone."Oh, she is brave..." Her colleague stated after they witnessed the clip.
via: Twitter
Or very careless. Of course, everyone was trying to stifle their laughter but it was pretty hard not to chuckle given the circumstances. Keep scrolling to see the funny clip.It has been the talk of the online world...

The responses have been almost as hilarious as the actual video itself, with many users left speechless.This user could only use gifs to describe their emotions...

Others questioned if it was actually her husband...
@Motownradical @delmoi @ChryslerReal If she's married it only gets worse if that isn't her husband.— 🕷️The Hierophant HildegardP (@🕷️The Hierophant HildegardP)1587326446.0
