New, practical, fast. And gone in 2 weeks after everyone gets sore arms and they can't rotate people around anymore.

This comic is 10 years old now, and still as relevant as ever:

I wonder what cognitive scores you've got to exhibit in order to be an on-camera operator for the news?

"BATs" = big ass tablets

Anyways, this is completely ridiculous.

Are they actual workers, or just background set pieces? (The people using the tablets.)

Yes.

This is sort of like the Homermobile, only they gave Homer a news room and said "Go for your life and make the coolest newsroom ever to grace this green earth!".

Green as in money? Or green as in environmental? This is Fox News, the distinction is important.

Why did they have to make each one look like a giant iPad with the white border and such?
