No, this isn’t from a comedy show or parody, but rather real 55-inch touchscreen tablets being used in the Fox News Deck. Fox News anchor Shepard Smith takes us through the network’s new high-tech setup, in which journalists use the gigantic tablets to „swipe through pages and apps, presumably collecting information for live reporting.“
According to The Verge, „It’s a remote control that allows Smith to shuffle through an image carousel with no apparent journalistic purpose.“ Shepard Smith would like to think differently, as he states, „For instance, I can take this lady who’s been evacuating from a hurricane zone and move it over here.“
