Not only is this clip a striking example of The Internet at an earlier time, but also a sobering reminder of how journalism has evolved in the past few decades.
Things to watch out for in the clip:
- The interview at roughly 2:30, where the internet is described as a surprisingly civil place, and how anonymity doesn’t bring out the worst in people (like we might expect). Kind of hilarious in hindsight.
- The fact that the CBC at this time clearly had a better grasp of what the internet was, then most CNN and FOX reports nowadays.
Thanks to @ilyasally for posting this.
