CNN hologram pointless

without comments

Ok, I confess this technology is kind of cool. And if I stretch my mind, I could think of some situations in which it would have a meaningful purpose. But sorry, CNN, this just isn’t one of them. Being a Chicagoan and and knowing the significance of the moment, I really wanted to be in Grant Park last night to see Obama speak in person. I don’t care about the CNN studio or your ‘Situation Room,’ Wolf. So why take Jessica Yellin out of Grant Park, with all of the activity and excitement surrounding her? Oh, because you can! The same reason why you like to see how many pundits you can fit on a TV screen. Stop it! I’m begging. [Hat tip Huffington Post]
