So, this is your trustworthy media working hard to bring you the news. What is the point of using an old clip? For those of you who don't know, David Gregory is a White House Correspondent. Gregory has often been praised for standing up to the White House, even though some think he ought to be tougher (*see Wilson, Cintra. "I invaded the White House press corps." in the reading section). Is this some sort of lame attempt to embarrass him? Is it a strange way to promote Hilary Duff? In any event, this type of behavior - inserting an old clip into a new shot - is LYING. Again, another leg of the journalistic integrity table being chewed off by the bored dog. When is that table going to crash to the ground?
Be a vigilant skeptic, if one cannot even trust video footage of a kid's concert - what else can't we trust?
Today Show Reuses Gregory Clip During Duff Performance - Media on The Huffington Post
During a live performance of Hilary Duff's new song "Stranger" on the Today Show Friday morning, admitted Duff fan David Gregory was pictured bopping along to the 19-year-old tween queen's music. If Gregory's unique dance moves seemed familiar to audiences, it's because they should be. Producers spliced in an old clip of the NBC newsman busting a move (from 2005!) to the new song. Also seen in the audience? Senior Vice President of NBC News and executive-in-charge of "Today," Phil Griffin
