Haha, yeah, she does. The 'r' is like a transition sound between the two words. I just tried it and I do exactly the same thing. It'd feel physically difficult for me to say both words seperately, like "media ... attention". My mouth naturally forms the 'r' sound straight after saying "media", but while it sounds the same as you're describing, in my head it's more "media rattention". Hmm, interesting, which comes out as, "intrestin", if I say it out loud. Sorry, I have a strange fascination with that kind of thing ... which comes out as "fing", incidentally.
