Doing very cool stuff is not a reason enough to be disrespectful towards your audience.
During one of the first booster landing attempts a presenter lady was staring at her monitor, saw the booster crash and then proceeded to blatantly lie that the feed was lost... while the jumbotron behind her back was showing the whole thing in real-time and the audio picking up the crowd in SpaceX going "Oooooh".
Then, there are their inane explanations that they keep losing the feed from the landing platform because the sea is rippled. The heck. If you are going to lie, come up with something a bit more plausible. A plasma ball interference from the plume or something.
Better yet, just say that we are going to delay the feed by 10 seconds and we may withhold any part of it as we wish. Everyone would be perfectly fine with that. It's their feed and it's awesome when they share anything at all. Just don't BS. There's literally no need to do that.
