Why, after 50 years, have news reports boiled down to this essential format?
As hilarious as this clip is, sadly I think it summarizes what has (unfortunately) probably become the best format for TV news, especially for those age 40 and above. It probably came about after years of research, or either reflects the best of what’s known about how TV viewers watch TV. Effective for today’s generation? No. But they’re not watching TV news.

P.S. Notice how I used this clip under the “Fair Use” doctrine of U.S. Copyright Law, which basically states you can use small portions of copyrighted content for non-commercial and educational purposes, as long as your use of the material does not cause financial or other harm to the copyright holder.
Most youtube clips are free game.
If the poster didn’t want people to view them or embed them on blogs, they would turn off that feature when they post the video.
One way or the other, the youtube user still get’s the “Hits” if the video is on Youtube or someone elses blog. Most experienced youtubers actually want their videos posted on folks blogs.
I wanted to disclose that as a comment because the topic came up in a class I took recently, and a lot of the people were confident it would be an illegal infringement of copyright. I totally agree with you, of course.
So check this out — I was on YouTube today and this is what it said:
They then go on to say that if you didn’t create something ENTIRELY by yourself, then you MAY be infringing on Copyright .
