Now You See it

Cable News finally thought it had one up on Twitter and Facebook but then the Hosni people said "no more television." The Hosni people smashed all the cameras and threatened reporters. We'll have to see if frustrating Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow gets him in real trouble. Social Networking has been credited for enabling these revolts to happen. It's unclear to me how TV helps especially when the coverage becomes the center of the story and the underlying story becomes secondary. And by the time the going gets really rough, not the fire or the shooting or the earthquake itself- TV is long gone. What did it do for Haiti? There is a long long long road for the Haitian people but TV (other than PBS News Hour) is long gone. Come on Google, come up with something to get the hardwork done.
