I'm not so stupid that I have to have a video to tell me the story. As a matter of fact, I like reading, as incomprehensible as that seems in today's society. Just give me the story!

 

Is it so hard to tell a story with words these days? Good God, I was definitely born 20 years too late. :ohbrother:

What's the context of this?

I love visual, I like being able to see it. When I try reading a novel I get too caught up in thinking about the details and lose sight of what the story really is. Maybe I'm just dense I dunno.

Jim is a writer if I remember correctly... Still not fully explaining the context but I figured maybe a bit of a better understanding.

So you prefer the movie over the book?

I take it Jim is saying that he doesn't like clicking on what he thinks is a news article only to be presented with a video instead.

 

And I 100% agree with him.

All day every day and twice on sunday.

Ok I'll give him that, ESPN is THE WORST!!!!!!!!! I've always said I'm an online, article reader just not a novelty kind of guy.

All day every day and twice on sunday.

I'm sorry...

I like having a video if there is footage of what's being reported, like the guy being saved under the car the other day. Other than that, I'd probably rather read something, too, as long as it's not too lengthy. But I'd take a movie over a book as well.

I'm sorry...

 

You don't have to apologize, I feel my eye's have seen plenty to paint a pretty picture for me if need be, but I'd rather leave that up to some one lese.

"Video killed the radio star...."

Bingo! ESPN is the worst about this, especially with its auto-loading videos. Just give me the darned story!

Late-night rant after a few beers.

Especially when you are at work. I don't think the auto-load has ever once caused me to stop and watch a video they were showing. I'd much rather read the article.

 

CNN is bad about this too, but on CNN it will be only video so I just reverse out and forget about that headline.
