I found his opening analogy to be broken. In 1941 there were no clips and other things on the TV news because the tech to record and replay television signals hadn't been created. Until the 60's the only way to record TV was "telecine" which was, as the name implies to record the tv image on film. (The term also implied the reverse process of (re)broadcasting the filmed source material of course.) It wasn't that no one had thought of showing the dumpster fire (to use a quote from a earlier comment!) but simply that the tech wasn't there. A lot of the problems here are of the same nature. The right level of tech is yet to built and hopefully when it is it may also improve the nature of the media that gets bundled (much as telecine was pretty poor looking when compared to the video tape recording that supplanted it later). So trying new tools is good. But I haven't seen that paradigm altering shift yet.
