60 Minutes, it ain’t
For your amusement, here’s David All’s shooter shooting me shooting him for PrezVid. How meta can you get?
And now here’s the product from me. Yeah, sure, it’d be better if I used the tripod and had lights and two mics and real questions and bothered to edit it. But who wants to be real TV?

Jeff your effort was better videography.
I’m wondering how the money comes. Unless your a chipmaker or an ISP.
I spend $400 a year for YellowBook. And deliver about 3 routes a year door to door. I detest the day I read only via RGB.

Cool Jeff. He’s right about the restrictions on TV broadcasts in Britain, but parties CAN raise money online in the UK.

However donations are to parties not individual candidates.

Also, I believe the different approaches to web video of Cameron and Blair can be explained by the fact that being in opposition encourages use of the platform to get a message out. Those already in government see it more as a threat or annoyance than an opportunity.

That last batch of grapes you got really were sour, weren’t they? You might as well ask, why spend all of that money to go to a restaurant, pay for the waiter, the chef, and the ambiance, when you can grab a few fresh veggies, some crackers, and a can of tuna from the corner market and get decent nutrition?
People don’t do quality audio and video production work to waste everyone’s time and money, they do it because it looks better. And when it’s well done, it makes the content more understandable, more digestible. Of course, I won’t disagree that a lot of money is going into production efforts that don’t enhance the message, but you’re frequently throwing the baby out with the bath water when it comes to quality production values.
Who wants to be real TV? You might as well ask, who wants to be a real writer, or reporter, when anybody can barf some (often incomprehensible) words into a comment box that somehow represent their experience or world view.
