As new technological outlets are introduced to the population it is common to find initial criticism and mockery in regards to its potential growth.The fact that the news anchors make fun of this new, innovative class shows that they are uncomfortable and approach the topic with an attempt to be comedic.The male anchor finds a need to poke fun at it since he still has some pent up regret about his C in a class when others got A's.Looks like you were the one sleeping in and not going to class!

The television newscaster form and articulation is rigid and constructed. Even Regis, cutting his cake a half minute before this particular duo's rude remarks, appears disingenuous. It's as if of the Global Media's newscasters have banded together to all audition for the same part. Incidentally I wonder if these same consistencies in performance appear in amateur youtube videos, everyone playing a part in front of worldwide audience.

I love how the newscasters are trying to make fun of the Learning from YouTube class but the last joke the male newscaster made was a sad excuse for humor. Someone should do a 30 second time slot on that it would be more worth while.

Hey Mr. Anchor, maybe don't judge so much when your opinion is based on a 15-second spot.

Calm down people. College kids are lazy, colleges courses like Learning from Youtube are a joke, the sky is blue, grass is green....much ado about nothing.

I think that news anchorman is kind of a duschbag. I feel a bit offended by how they treated learning from youtube. they did act like it was a joke, when in reality they obviously don't know much about the story they are reporting on or the fact that youtube is a incredibly revolutionary and fascinating new form of media. Idiots.

Youtube is BigBrother. People are held accountable for their words by the visibility Youtube. with our cameras, we are our own monitoring body

15yrs ago the rodney king incident was shocking not only for its brutality, but because someone just HAPPENED to film it. today, a search for "police brutality" gets 2000+ video hits

consider george allen's macaca incident

I think it's fantastic that these newscasters are being held responsible for their criticism of the course

I think this video shows how uncritical that mainstream media is of what it choses to report and how it presents it. Without understanding the theory of the course or what aspects of media praxis is wants to illuminate, the anchors fail back on simple clichés about higher education and lazy students.

This is a perfect example of how YouTube works... first, it allows us to watch this television clip that we'd probably never otherwise see, then we are able to comment on it and express any and all opinions, good or bad, with the option of anonymity... you tube works with people, someone had to put this video on YouTube, and the entire world is able to interact with it and express their beliefs/ideas or plain nonsense.
