I was noticing something lately.

 

 

 

When a guy/girl sitting at his desk on the news says "and now to "so-and-so" in Washington DC" the camera switches over to the guy supposedly in Washington DC, but am I paranoid, or does it look exactly like a screen behind him, it doesn't look life-like at all, and if it is fake, why do they have to do that?

 

 

 

PS. (no PS) :D

Yeah, it's a conspiracy. All the news programs in the world are recorded in Lewisville, Indiana, where they have scenarios for every city in the world.

So that would explain why all the reporters here in the UK speak with an american accent...

rofl, im trying to be serious lol

The Daily Show always parodies that, having its correspondents being in obviously untrue locations :D

You have to understand that it's usually very hard to create a broadcast out in the open, where a lot of conditions are beyond the filming crew's control. That's why they generally use a screen unless the situation calls for a report on the site of the news. For example, when the French governement debates over raising tariffs on goat cheese they'll just use the Parisian skyline as a background, but if a mad scientist dissolved the feet of the Eiffel tower with acid they'll probably shoot footage at the scene.

Atleast you still have newsreaders behind the desk to introduce you to those reporters. Over here, everyone's got a case of WFS (Walking foot syndrome). They can't sit still for 2 seconds...actually they don't sit. They walk around in a phoney sense of importance talking down to a camera.

 

 

 

"Get your condescending news!" No thanks?
