The subject of this picture is not the how-dare-you-say-he's-a-Muslim-you-racist-pig candidate, but the little devices being held up to him. At first I thought they were cellphones. Apparently they are modern microphones. A broadcast microphone used to be the size of a can of beans set on a broomstick-thick handle, and there was an electrical cord coming out of the end of the handle. When did they change? Nobody told me.
I have since learned that the little devices being held up to The Teflon Candidate are not just microphones. They are digital voice recorders. In oldspeak we would say that they are the microphone and the tape recorder miniaturized and combined.
ReplyDeleteThe real question is, does he have anything to say worth recording?
