By the way, election coverage is ridiculous. Apparently, since the networks have nothing to report on yet, they are trying to "out-technology" each other. "Look at our fancy map, its so impressive!" "Look how we can update our numbers four seconds faster than our competitors, aren't we great?!"
CNN takes the cake though. I am currently watching in awe (and not in a good way!) as Wolf Blitzer in the NY studio is talking with another CNN correspondent who is in Chicago. But he's not talking with her on split-screen like they usually do ... no way man, this is election night, time to bring out the big guns!! Instead, Wolf is talking face to face with a hologram of the other correspondent.
(Click on the pic above to enlarge it so you can fully appreciate the ridiculousness - note the "via hologram" tagline and the blue aura surrounding the correspondent. You can't make this stuff up, people!!)
Seriously, a HOLOGRAM? Is that really necessary? Sheesh.
