” I really do not care about staged jumping into ditches and panting reporters. Yeah, you can call me cynical.”
The Fox News guy was broadcasting from the roof of a hotel again. Last year he was on the roof of a hotel in Kyiv. Deliver a short, breathless report and head to the bar.
I’ve been watching lives streams that are superior to network and cable news. At least that is my opinion. I found one last night, Agenda-Free TV on YouTube, which is a one man operation with some moderators in chat that was very good. He was aggregating other streams, live cameras from Gaza, playing official broadcasts from the IDF, sifting thru Israeli and Palestinian news sites, Twitter feeds and other social media. It was all real time and he tried to verify everything the had on this stream. It wasn’t so much news reporting, it was real-time information gathering and at least I assumed that information was subject to change and the information did change. The process was transparent unlike anything on broadcast and cable news.
