So the media is in a Frenzy that CBS doctored shots of famous Boston landmarks, with shots of the 4th of July fireworks being blasted off on the Charles River. Some are saying it's 'misleading'.
Well, these people really must not work in the entertainment business, or even know much about it, because a good amount of the time their favorite shows and films are shot on sound stages, or in various other locations designed to look like the intended location. The thing is, it's JUST a firework show. So you can't see the fireworks from the back of Fenway, State House, or Quincy Market. But when you look at how long you have to film the show, versus the amount of angles going to keep things running smooth, ONTOP of presenting famous American landmarks, OF COURSE you're going to doctor the shots. Geez, I mean they had me convinced when I saw the video.
With all this, I think people are complaining just to complain. I don't think you'd be able to see the fireworks going off on the Hudson River from Times Square, the Chrysler Building, or Empire State Building. Even Yankee Stadium for that matter. It's America. The fireworks show CBS Presented to its televised audience was more than likely (judging here, considering I've no affiliation with CBS at the time of writing) designed to present the fireworks as a collage of not only fireworks, but the famous locations inside Boston that make up what Boston is.
People will always find something to complain about. Even their own Patriotism.

It's just that with CBS news is supposed to be news; with the media as corrupt as it already is and the majority of outlets being controlled by billionaires and/or corporations, it's slightly unnerving to think that even a traditional fireworks display can't be left untampered.
As the news system degrades, even smaller things become more important, and with the public as self-imposingly ignorant as ever, many people choose only to complain when they feel they can get results/solve the problem fast. This leads to people targeting isolated incidents such as this, (which I totally agree, shouldn't necessarily be a big deal, especially in the scheme of things).
But when does it's JUST a fireworks show become it's JUST a fluff piece, and it's JUST a university research study, and it's JUST a local election, etc., - tampering with the news is a serious problem.
If this were Disney or any private cable channel etc just throwing some extra photoshop fireworks in and putting on an even cooler show, power to them, but why the f does CBS have to do it? Congrats, they made some fireworks look cooler and faker- now start reforming the corrupt media machine.
This was off topicish I think.
