And now for a look at technology, we go LIVE(!) to Mumbai, where a crack squad of broadcasters is demonstrating the latest in third-world news-herding… It’s a sat truck! It’s a billboard! It’s a dusty micro-van cloaked in logos and motor oil. Whatever you call it, remind me not to whine so much the next time someone leaves Slushee guts in the center console of Live 4, would ya? At least that thing’s been inspected since the last century. Speaking of the last century, a reporter lady from India’s News Leader was gonna speak but she was overcome by generator fumes and had to go lie down. That’s a shame too since she had some hard-hitting facts about Tim Tebow and the wonderful things he’s done for the people of New Delhi. Oh well, let’s meet her crew. Say, are those viewers leaning into that passenger side window – or is someone trying to trade that hoopty for two sand-bags and an ox-cart? Hey, I’d pull the exact same stunt if my mobile newsroom had the life expectancy of a Ford Pinto on an grease-covered overpass. As far as I’m concerned, you have every right to upgrade your conveyance – no matter what hemisphere you call home. Just take my advice and burn those clothes while you’re at it. After all…
…it ain’t just credibility that thing’s oozin’.
