Especially from a man known for his brave and stalwart defence of Michael Bay movies.
I have seen a lot of speculation as to whether or not he is simply a troll that's managed to go pro.

Stop me if this sounds familiar.
So The other day I closed one eye and noticed I could see considerably less than with the other eye...

I'm sitting at home waiting for a call to go in for a CT scan.

If it changes based on outfit, then it's the clothes
So if they go out in a burqa and get beaten up by skinheads it's the clothes?

Have a look at this latest trailer for a low profile, small budget indie film that, word on the street is, might be the sleeper hit of 2009.
Those blue things are clearly all on drugs.

And I don't mean that in a sexually euphemistic way
I think there may be a need for a standardised emoticon or abbreviation for that phrase. Maybe a variant of ಠ_ಠ

Which seems a little like tampering with evidence to me ...
While I think it is usually a good idea for a jury to decide upon the relevance of various pieces of evidence. If they get exposed to interpretations, pareidolia can be extremely convincing.
You can't ask a jury to hear things without preconceptions. That part of the brain is hardwired.

I really liked the Media 7, There were people with a good understanding of the challenges, requirements and problems with the news, and Paul Patrick.
It also reminded me of the value of good old fashioned honesty. Richard Langston had a fairly valid point about avoiding clichés, It's hard to do when you have a time constraint. I prefer 'we don't do that because it's hard' to 'I reject your insinuation that there is something wrong with the way we do things' which seems the standard response these days.
I think a rule of thumb for live crosses would be to not do them in a place where _no_ information relevant to the story originated. You have to wonder what the effect of the live cross is, fundamentally. If it's to present the reporter as being close to the story then the best reason to do a live cross would be because that is where the reporter happens to be as a result of getting the story. Doing anything else is like a Journalistic toupee .
