Blasts interrupt CNN interview in Gaza

Rambaldi says...

@bareboards2 -
Misrepresenting the timing is a distortion of the facts - that would mean Muhammad was not in direct conversation with the news anchor.
I agree presenting two sides of the conflict would be admirable, and I'm glad it came through to you this way.

However, when one side gets bombarded during the interview, some people would find it very hard to see both sides of the conflict, an effect that increases when the interview appears to be presented live.
Even if CNN did this to draw eyes to the interview, it creates unfair bias, and the editorial decision to air it like this does not suggest the intention was to show both sides of the conflict.

I'm agnostic BTW. I get why the timing affects people of faith that way, I just wish it didn't. I hope me saying this does not offend you in any way.

(The usual disclaimer - I'm from Israel).

Just a thought - is the interview live? Because at the beginning of the interview, the News anchor says "About two hours ago, we were able to reach Muhammad Suliman..."
She than says: "I started by asking Muhammad to describe the situation...". When the bombing starts, however, the context seems to be that this is live material - she asks Muhammad about the bombings and even repeats the question.

News shows do this all the time - record and edit interviews to appear in sync with the correspondent's questions. And that doesn't mean Gaza wasn't actually bombarded when the interview was conducted. However *if* the material was pre-recorded, that means CNN knew - in advance - that this happens during the interview. Giving the impression it was live is not very even handed.

Roseanne - Jackie would have loved Facebook!

Rambaldi says...

Didn't watch much Roseanne back when it was first shown. Watched the first two seasons recently, and I loved it.
What kills me about Jackie: She's well written, and as a little sister to a control freak like Roseanne they don't have to do much to get my sympathy. And then Metcalf does those Jim Carrey style funny faces and I remember that I'm watching a sitcom.

Tom Hardy "StarTrek" screentest vs actual scene

Rambaldi says...

It´s pretty clear after looking at this that much of Bane´s character in TDKR is Hardy rather than actor direction by Nolan. I heard Nemesis is awful and hadn't planned on seeing it, but now I'm curious.

Shameless product placement on TV

Shameless product placement on TV

Rambaldi says...

The Glee thing was a commercial rather than product placement. But I guess the fact you can barely tell the difference between the two anymore is kind of the point.
