CNN’s little digital imaging trick they premiered on election night to have far-flung correspondents seem to appear in the studio a la Princess Leia has been dubbed by CNN as a “hologram”. Sorry, CNN, it’s not. It was a combination of green screen technology and a circle of cameras with lots of computer control. If it had been a hologram, Wolf Blitzer would have been able to see the correspondents standing in front of him.
I appreciate you guys pushing the envelope, and it was certainly cool. But when you call it something it isn’t, it undermines your overall credibility as a news source. I would think that’s Journalism 101. Have the Bush years brought you so low?
