Interruptible foldback (IFB), also known as interrupted foldback, interruptible feedback, or interrupt for broadcast, is a monitoring and cueing system used in television, filmmaking, video production, and radio broadcast for one-way communication from the director or assistant director to on-air talent or a remote location. The names are backronyms for the Telex IFB-XXX model line. Less common names for the system include program cue interrupt (PCI) and switched talkback. IFB is often facilitated using an earpiece that on-air persons wear to get cues, feedback or direction from their control rooms. The earpiece itself may also be referred to as an IFB.
Was Biden the first to use them or did they always use them in debates?
They're a news industry standard. It's how anchors, reporters, meteorologist, and sports pundits even at your local news stations get timings and breaking information from line producers, technical directors, master control, or other control room personnel. They've been around for decades so... no, Biden was not the first one to use it.

I've used them before too. Hmm I guess debates were portrayed as less staged. Its believable that drumpf can speak on his own at least.
If it was completely above board though, why would try try so much to hide them?
When I used them, they were just like clear IEMs they weren't invisible or hidden. Though it was only for directions for where to stand and stuff for production.
I mean... are you being intentionally obtuse or are you just turning stupid from bias?
You don't want your foldback showing in general, it's bad form in the business. Most likely everyone on camera on that set had an IFB for communication from the control room.
I don't know why you're being like this. This is some dragoncoomer level shit. Truly pathetic.

Half dead and tired from work so I probably am brain dead. Had to pull loads of unpaid overtime last week.
In my country they agreed to stop using teleprompters or earpieces... which lead to people screwing up on live tv and now neither major party agrees to the debates anymore.

I used to adjust it to be less annoying then get in trouble for it showing.
I imagine I annoyed the shit out of them if they had to come adjust something.
Dang... its been more than a decade, where the flipping heck did time go. Damn.

i feel like i just got doxxed, some people were at my door looking for me and wanted to offer reasons i should vote for kamala since I'm registered an independent.
i knew they knew where i lived, now they know what i look like, i wanted to ask questions like "how does growing up middle class, then polling the worst only to end up as vp then full president help the economy?" and "her day 1 was 3 and a half years ago" but to risk being doxxed further...
i sometimes feel it would be best for humans to go back to slavery under the anunnaki or human-zeta hybrids, at least then our leaders would be smart. heck maybe even the "men" in black could be better leaders.

stupid question from a third worlder, why dont someone shot them when they enter their backyard? would someone blame racism on them if they get inside their property?
Can you register as an independent? Or report that you are on polling? Telephone polls are not necessarily confidential if they are paid for by a party for example.
edit: If you registered as an independent to vote in a Democrat primary then of course they have your details. Why do you think they let independents vote in their primaries in some states?

I think even in the US where they have castle doctrine they have to be breaking in. Don't think you can shoot people that are on your grass in the US for a long time.
Sorry I am brain damaged. Was that a reference to Trump's secret service detail shooting at the latest an hero assassin at the golf course?
Seems the dude screwed up because he was trying to film a TikTok whilst trying to take a shot.

I was going to the supermarket to buy groceries one time after work, and 2 dudes that were asking for donations for some shit i don't remember...probably african kids, tried begging me for money.
Second Trump assassination attempt. He's a skinny old dude and looks like he's got a screw loose. He conveniently knew exactly when and where Trump would be on the golf course and left his assault rifle and backpacks behind. These people they're hiring to take Trump out are pretty stupid and bad shots, but thank goodness for that. Strange how they're shooting at Trump while there's plenty of illegals and criminals they could target instead.
If I understand the story correctly, the secret service fired at the guy and missed. They really suck if they can't hit their own patsies. If he doesn't mysteriously die in the next few days then there's a chance the shooter could be just a regular nutjob.
You can tell they are lefties because they are using 'scary assault style' weapons instead of an effective bolt action rifle. I guess the CIA/FBI is struggling to get good patsies.
The dude was dressed up in alibaba tacticool gear.
edit: US media trying to blame Trump for saying they are eating the cats when the shooter was constantly ranting about 'democracy being on the ballot' and Trump literally being Hitler.
