I thought your observation that the ordinary media activity at Netzaram Junction that day was the collection of archive footage with little or no risk was also exceptionally incisive. Did you get my separate email? Thanks Rob.

Yes, it a public secret. That’s why as a media studies teacher in the 70s I required my students to use a video editor to create fake footage – to inoculate them against TV as anything other than carefully crafted drama. What has happened here is that another culture has weaponized TV and that weapon has entered our own media along the vector of the public secret – the insatiable commercial appetite for dramatic footage. Thats the secret – news camera operators and their editors are a team that creates dramatically satisfying footage. Action news.
