As I said, they don't get it.
They believe they are still making content for people who are sitting 
glued to the screen with nothing better to watch.

The point was - the media and Corporations are living in a world that 
has disappeared and they havent managed to transition to the new world - 
which appears to be based on John Furphy & Sons water cart tales around 
the campfire.... i.e.: Who can do the smoothest most believable fake CGI....
It's a shame when News organisations have to copy Youtube in an attempt 
to gain viewer attention.
News is News. It's supposedly factual and informative. Err, it is 
factual and informative isnt it ?

I believe that was the thrust of Jans's original posting.
