That news anchor 'teleprompter fail' video got me rethinking my own editing

Noticed a clip where the anchor said the wrong city name and just kept going. Nobody in the studio caught it until air. Made me realize I've been skipping my own final playback checks for months. Anyone else find that watching other people's bloopers actually helps you spot your own mistakes?

Yeah I used to blow off the final playback too. @jenny198 is right, skipping it even once can snowball into bigger issues. Watching that anchor keep reading the wrong city name made me realize how easy it is to miss something obvious when you're rushing.

Used to skip that final check all the time, thought it was unnecessary. Now I see exactly why it matters.

Honestly though, skipping it even once can really mess things up down the line.
