Impeachment coverage looks like a quirky number in a show choreographed by Bob Fosse.

Joe Rogan is pulling that whole gaggle with his teeth.

I saw that movie. It was called the Blob.

pacwest म्हणाले...

I've seen that before. A Mel Brooks movie?

I feel bad for the short guy in the back. He can’t see what he’s doing and won’t know until later if he has anything.

chuck म्हणाले...

Doing the turtle.

Temujin म्हणाले...

Nothing more to say than...Journalism!

Rick.T. म्हणाले...

Cattle. Sheep.

Iman म्हणाले...

That’s a baaaaaaaad look.

Who are they following and for what audience are they reporting? At this point this is like covering a snow storm in Alaska: somewhat dramatic but not unexpected but not very relevant

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

That is a much-needed laugh this morning. OMFG. It's just too bad that there wasn't a cliff.

The "scrum" seems so old fashioned. I guess video clips that emerge from that process convey "immediacy" ("By my heroic efforts, I managed to get a statement the person didn't really want to give"). Everyone's so used to this, the print folks can't wait around for an actual conversation, so they are chasing the same sound bites as the video folks. It's one of the steps on the road from actual conversations to stupid or brutal Tweets. And of course, the politicians are also used to it. They either have their sound bite ready, or keep saying "not now."

I get frustrated when I bring up the Q and A with a coach after a game, and I can't hear the questions. When I searched, I was amazed to find out the media organizations take the view that they own copywright on their own reporters' questions, so they don't want everyone to be able to write them down. In what century is all this taking place?

And who says lemmings can't hold phones?

Tommy Duncan म्हणाले...

They are learning. First they take baby steps.

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

It looks like a co-ed, intramural Rugby scrum by a group of aging, misshapen college TAs.

Leland म्हणाले...

Why anybody takes these people as serious is beyond me.

Tommy Duncan म्हणाले...

When I watched it a second time I thought I saw Steve McQueen.

Wilbur म्हणाले...

Bob Knight may have said it best when asked about journalists: "All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things."

Here's one...

Mary Beth म्हणाले...

Needs more jazz hands.

tcrosse म्हणाले...

It's the group hug in the last episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Meade म्हणाले...

Jeffery Toobin and I found that performance... DAZZLING!

gspencer म्हणाले...

That's Danny DeVito, right?

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

That looks like a flock of red wing blackbirds at my feeder. One or two on the feeder eating and knocking off seeds for the hundreds gathered on the ground below.But if the lead bird gives the order the entire flock takes off and is gone in a second.

Who is the lead bird? I can't tell. They must know whom they obey. But it's a secret.

Howard म्हणाले...

I love that movie All that jazz with Roy scheider. I saw it at the magic lantern theater in Isla Vista in the late 1970s absolutely stoned out of my gourd. I don't think it's the type of movie that one should see sober

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

are the corrupt D-media whores attempting to get it on with king Schitt?

Fernandinande म्हणाले...

It reminded me of the grotesque monster in Oats Studios - Volume 1 - Zygote, made from the body parts of its victims.

Paul Zrimsek म्हणाले...

Bump up the playback speed a bit and you've got the Keystone Cops.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

I can't quite remember the Fosse thing where a group shuffles across the stage like that.

CWJ म्हणाले...

Althouse,

Maybe you're thinking of the opening scene of "Ragtime" where the Immigrants, Wasps, and Blacks move around the stage in close clumps.

Narr म्हणाले...

Am I a bad person for wondering what a sudden shout of "grenade!" would do for a mob like that?

Joe म्हणाले...

A group of sheep can be a herd, flock or drove.

tcrosse म्हणाले...

How about a Taco Bell Bean Burrito Supreme fart?

JAORE म्हणाले...

Whole lotta shufflin' goin' on there.....

Darrell Harris म्हणाले...

Looks more like a performance of Pilobolos.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

“Maybe you're thinking of the opening scene of "Ragtime" where the Immigrants, Wasps, and Blacks move around the stage in close clumps.”

Thanks. Will look for it.

I did see the Broadway show.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Found it on YouTube and the wasn’t the kind of dancing I’m picturing. Lots of people on stage at once but not much choreography.

Ken B म्हणाले...

Fosse. Very funny.

Lance म्हणाले...

The costumes in that clip looked more like Rocky Horror PIcture Show.

Night Owl म्हणाले...

On youtube look for bob fosse "Sweet Charity". (I'd make a link but I can't do it on my phone.) There's some of that sort of group shuffling action in a number of the dance sequences, like "big spender", "the heavyweight", and "the big finish".

Rockport Conservative म्हणाले...

I saw lemmings; I saw schools of fish; it is an amazing video. Movement of many as one being is not what we usually see in humans even in a choreographed dance.
