Remixing News Video On The Fly

Posted by timothy on from the when-the-going-gets-absurd dept.

slashdotbs writes "The New York Times writes that 'A handful of Web users are programming their own virtual TV newscasts and eclectic collections of video clips using a free media-sharing tool called Webjay. The site makes it easy to build, share and watch playlists of audio and video links culled from around the Internet.' Although the site was originally intended to be used for audio playlist creation, it turns out that it can also be used effectively for video. In addition, you can create "video mashups", where you blend audio and video together to present a new message. By using simple smil commands in a URL, a CBS news report can become a short clip of George Bush saying "I can't do my job" (the third track on this playlist)."

    Shove your conservative, want-to-run-everyone's-life, America- hating, freedom-hating, Sean Hannity-and-Rush Limbaugh- worshipping, need-others-to-think-for-you bullshit straight up your ass.

    How can we TRUST the big bully corporations to tell us the truth?

    You can't, but you CAN trust them to lie.

    Well at least Mister Moore does not own a MegaCorp set out to profit from his warmongering.
