voyeurism
testy jeremiad
"In an exceptionally testy jeremiad in last Sunday's magazine, architect Michael Sorkin denounced the plethora of sound studios, news tickers, broadcast screens, and other sources of information, each identified with the logo of its parent corporation, as so much 'newszak.'" (wsj_99.12.30)
apotheosis
"He is particularly distressed that 'all the networks have fishbowl-style broadcast environments' outside of which crowds gather in hopes of seeing and beeing seen. ...
'Those studios are a lot like traditional peep shows. The object is still to bew safely part of something unattainable, whether it's a naked woman's attentions or a chat with Diane Sawyer and Bill Bradley.'" (wsj_99.12.30)
charming conceit
"'Fifteen cameras placed around the square will feed [the Astrovision] screen images of the [estimated 1.5 million-strong] crowd, enabling it to watch itself watching itself along with another billion or so souls around the globe watching it watching itself and watching ...' ... then news will become, well, news again. ..." (wsj_99.12.30)
