Technology And The News

Hey, I know technology is a wonderful thing, especially for news media. The omnipresence of cellphone cameras allows any amateurs who suddenly find themselves on the scene of a newsworthy event to record it for broadcast later. The key word here is amateur - they're not professionals, and their footage is terrible quality because they just so happened to be in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time, and started recording in the heat of the moment with whatever shitty camera they had. But let's stop sending out reporters with cellphone cameras or using Skype to interview people as if it's giving us broadcast quality video, ok? If I wanted to watch a indiscernable blob of flesh pixelate its way across my screen I'd go back to 1999 and watch internet porn over dialup. La la la, olden days!
