Pretty amazing technology. Almost worth having to listen to Wolf Blitzer
sputter on and on with all his "uhs".

They are holographicaly projecting reporters from around the country onto
the stage beside Wolf, so it appears he is standing beside them, talking.

Pretty cool.

If it wasn't a camera trick. I don't know if Blitzer was seeing what
we were seeing.
Anyway, since a holograph is 3-D, it's sort of silly to waste it on
2-D TV.
I'll believe CNN had a projector when I see one in BestBuy.
Preferably of M. Monroe standing on a grate.
