A few weeks back I signed up with CNN's Internet based "pipeline" service on a trial basis. I've grown a bit attached to it now.
It really does show a better more accurate view of the news. For example, I've been watching "live" coverage of Ernesto preparations. What they have is a feed from local station WPLG. Most of the time what you see is the reporter lady walking back on forth in a T-shirt with a group of kids playing on the beach in the background. However when she's ready to "go live" she puts on her bright yellow rain slicker and matching hat, buttons it up, turns so the minimal wind is directly into her face and adjusts the camera so the beach looks deserted before starting her report. :rolleyes:
