Stealing the limelight
It’s quite common for TV reporters to do pieces to camera while action goes on behind them in order to keep the vision fresh and interesting for home viewers.

More silly than TV reporters standing in front of parliament, police stations etc at all hours of the day/night is the obsession of politicians to have a backdrop of cardboard cutout advisers/staff. public servants when they front a TV interview.
The economy would be better off if these nodding, trying-to-look interested bit players stayed at their desks and did some bloody work instead of cluttering the TV news.
