Did anybody happen to see the 20/20 episode 2-3 weeks ago when they went after the underground counterfeit pharmaceutical market dealers? Well, they must have put out an open crew call on Craig’s List or used one of the new crowdsourcing apps to get their shooters at the last minute saying no experience necessary and bring your own camera no matter what it is.

There must have been five different camera systems rolling at any given time and it was an all over the place train wreck free-for-all with mismatched color, under/over exposure, soft focus, shaky frames with snap zooms and whip pans, you know, for ABC’s new target demo. I can’t recall if the audio was bad.

It was very fast paced & there must have been 5 cuts every 4 seconds. With that and all the Mtv-type effects, it was almost impossible to watch and whoever organized and approved that should be ashamed. The only impressive part of that show was when David Muir broke out his fluent Spanish in mid-sentence and interrogated one of the counterfeiters on the spot. That lady wasn’t expecting that and didn’t know how to react to someone who knew how to play her game. It showed how he got into the story more than just being there. The only other reporter I’ve seen do that is John Quinones but I’m sure there’s more in all market levels.
