Are we? There’s plenty going on at the moment in the world of Disney. Plus even if there is a drought, we don’t have to fill the void with fake news and manufactured outrage about Zegler.

In fact, the December 2023 clip I found is itself excerpted from a longer (and presumably older) video. Who knows when or why it was originally filmed? That doesn’t matter, though, for the purposes of the present discussion. It took me all of 60 seconds to determine this was fake news.

It’s quite surreal, isn’t it? I think they spend more time following and thinking about her than her actual fans do. And now they’re having to dredge up and misrepresent old videos just to keep the outrage going.

Then why are you choosing to suffer? Why are you guys so obsessed with someone who need not have even the slightest bearing on your lives?

You guys really need to find better sources of information. The video is from last December.

Can you provide a link? I can’t find a video apology, just the post we’ve already discussed here.

I find both sets of critters cute. I’ve already made my preference for Splash clear.

I don’t think the issue is with the format per se. There are very solid 24-hour news channels out there that stick to what they’re supposed to do, even if they end up being very repetitive as a result. But yes, what you’ve described is very much the case with all of the US-based news channels.

This isn’t the gotcha you think it is, since my post was clearly about all such “news” channels, regardless of their ideology. Oh, and ABC isn’t a news channel and therefore has nothing to do with what I’m saying.

Thanks for the correction!

If I’m not mistaken, this is the first indication we have that the Queen will appear in her Old Hag form (you can see her in the background).

Yikes! I hope no-one saw my post before I deleted it. Talk about having a slow day!

You mean Jonathan, right? Or is there a prince in addition to Burnap’s character?

I mean, you guys are still here even though he declared, "The only people who like Disney are little babies and they're stupid." Perhaps people have minds of their own and aren't going to be swayed by the thoughts of a talk-show host?

I know. I was talking about the channel as a whole (and others like it). A proper news channel—and they are out there—should stick to its mission and show the news as objectively as possible. Absolute objectivity is indeed impossible, but some sources are demonstrably and measurably more biased...

You're so quick to anger that you're not even reading my posts properly. I've made abundantly clear that the choice of footage has a large bearing on the final effect. Yes, all of the footage is subject to exactly the same distortion, but how bad that distortion looks very much depends on what...

You’re describing how the screen works anyway. There is only one ideal viewing point—the middle seat of the middle glider. The further out you move from that point, the more distorted the image will appear. All the footage is equally prone to this distortion and always has been (California was...

No, it couldn’t have been improved. No “distortion correction” would have addressed the issue, because it’s simply unavoidable with the kind of curved screen they use. The only way around the problem was what they’ve just done: replacing the footage entirely. I mean, it’s not like you’re using...

I personally think that any channel that masquerades as news but is merely a political mouthpiece should be avoided, regardless of which side of the ideological spectrum it falls on. There are far higher-quality sources of information and entertainment out there.

It’s not pedantry when, after all these years, we still have people asking why they can’t apply a technological fix. I think it’s important for these things to be properly and accurately reported.
