What the heck is happening at 4:48? Duel who turns the tv on first?
those images on the screens are not live. Look at the one guy on the right hes just moving his hand like hes doing something and hopes hes in sync. Iâm old, but not that old to not catch that bullshit.

See, I was going to point that out too. Must be the soon to be released Lumia 2620âŚ
According to the promo video for the news deck, those at the helm are âinformation specialistsâ-- no journalists necessary.
I get that youâre not going to be in charge of your buildingâs AC, but the concept of using even more energy, by using heating, to counteract the AC that is cranked too hard just makes me cry a little for the world.

Bad ergonomics meets fancy-looking technology meets insatiable greed, O, where have I seen this before?

Oh, swell.
Now I have Cycle 5âs âBlood from a Stoneâ running through my head.
We see that all the time at our office, and at most offices Iâve worked in. Little fan heaters under desks being used to counteract the arctic chill of air conditioning that seemingly canât be controlled. HVAC engineers should be re-trained as Fox âjournalistsâ.
Wait, are they minature people or just big iPads? Or both?

The sped-up video segment hints at completely incompetent project management, planning and execution. Equipment gets moved in and out, and around for no apparent reason, other perhaps than to make it look like lots of stuff happened. Could it be that the whole concept of this ânewsâ room and the giant iPads is little more than an elaborate set to make Fox âNewsâ look high-tech and modern? Surely not. It MUST be important (in some way that is not apparent to me) for the âjournalistsâ to be visible behind the talking heads (and for the talking heads to be visible at all, I guess).
Heeeeey, that reminds me of the BBC newsroom, only slightly more frightening.
The news is so big, we need a BIG touchscreen to handle it all!
So weâve got . . . what? Shots from Metropolis and the album cover from In The Court of the Crimson King coming up next?
Man, heâs got a giant head!
Iâm guessing this is all about continuing to con people who donât know better, V2.0.
Computers â big ass computers â must mean itâs more true, so now Fox canât be held liable for
slanting news or lying b/c itâs the fault of the big ass computers and the internets!
(Of course, Fox will still chose what to run and what to exclude, just like always, thus
slanting the news.)
So, basically, if the NSA guy got his own version of the Enterprise bridgeâŚ

If one is good, two must be better!
They expect us to believe they call them BATs - Big AREA Touchscreens? Yeah, right.
Forget the giant touchscreens, I canât wait to see TV anchors forced to do everything via Microsoft Kinect.

Bullshit artists.
Wow, this is like a Tom the Dancing Bug. Satire is now truly indistinguishable from reality.
I think this goes to show just how much Fox owns its hearts and minds; to be able to brag about how much they spent on blatant window-dressing for their Bullshit Mountain. âWe blew a ton of cash, more than youâll ever make, on bells and whistles that are completely pointless except for their ability to help us feed you shit - suck it up and enjoy.â
Pity for Fox ahem journalists? You must be on drugs.
As youâre well aware, that job description is an utter lie; theyâre plainly actors - propagandists.
As such, stiff shit if they donât like their new working conditions. Oh, thatâs right - in America youâre fucked without a job, so thereâs not so much leeway to exercise your conscience⌠maybe a little pity then.
Hey, does anyone know if any of the touchscreen slaves are actually recognisable, or if theyâre just faceless interns? I strongly suspect there isnât an ounce of substance to this display, even though theyâll probably initially make a big show of how theyâre supposedly putting it to useâŚ
Oh well, look on the bright side - maybe thisâll spur one or two Fox viewers to put their brain in gear and stop being a fucking idiot.
We live in hope.
