At the end of the Keye 10:00 pm news in the Austin, Texas area, Walt Maciborski, who was accused before of political partisanship on air, yells like he's two rooms away with no mic "Colbert is next." It definitely is a put down, displaying disapproval. To muffle it is inappropriate and disrespectful and definitely not professional. Even if the broadcasting company may be Republican, the networks should be neutral.
