Reason #1 that they won't work:
They take much longer to create than blasting out a bit of text.
Reason #2 that they won't work:
They take too long to watch. I can't think of the last time I watched TV News. I'd much rather scan NYTimes.

And, #2.5, all of the "ums"and "ahs" lengthen the response, where text is (usually) cleaner and faster and to the point. Love the technology, but until the basic "jist" of a video comment can be quickly gleaned, I'll take browsing comments in 30 seconds vs. 30 minutes any day. It's a wonderful communication tool for people that have no hands.
