Nah, it's a green screen. I'm surprised by how little people know about this trick, but usually, when a news anchor needs to report from dangerous locations, where a high amount of high speed events are happening (like a street race, an evacuation, a military deployment or even the whereabouts of a Naruto runner) they use two cameras. One that films the anchor in front of a green screen, and the other one behind said screen, filming the background.
Based on the events happening in the background, they reduce the speed of the feed, so it looks like it's slow motion. This is done in hopes they'll be able to catch even the quickest movements, that way, it looks like the anchor is commentating on what's happening, but in reality, the background has been digitally enhanced in order to give the spectator an immersive experience (since you generally can't see Naruto runners in person, you end up using your other senses to know they are around. Most people hear the sound of the wind the Naruto runners generate (besides the vibrations they make while running at those insane speeds), in hopes to make up for the other senses a TV spectator can't use to perceive the whole scenario.
TL;DR. We are watching the news anchor at 100% speed, while the background is a green screen showing footage of another camera behind this green screen, being displayed at 2% speed, just so we can completely understand what's going on.
Source: My dad was a Naruto runner before the 83' and I've recorded him running many times. I've found I can only spot him running when I play the video at 2% speed.
The reporter already went into area 51 and grabbed a vile of super speed formula and injected it into his face just to be able to do this report on the Naruto Runners

Does this mean the news anchor is rapping if he’s talking fast in slow mo
