Depends what you are looking for, if personal emotion yes you are absolutely correct. Watching a game at Loftus Road is a totally different experience than watching it on the TV. However if you are looking for a more accurate representation of what happened, factually based having a wider access to more information, different view points, etc.. watching it on the box is a much better representation. When reporting on history emotions will only lead to distort facts, like with the football analogy people get caught up in emotion and feelings and can see something with extreme bias, not representing what actually happened, we've all called for penalties that weren't for example

A lot of that I can agree with.
Phillip Ausländer was the guy who's book I read. He discussed relationships between live and recorded events. I think we are diverting off what this was about. It's great having camera's/reports and such but it will never give the experience of actually being there. As I previously said, it just adds information to what you witnessed and sometimes not always the same?

She did some fab stuff for this country but sadly many people got f22ked because of the change... which was needed.
(not people getting f22ked, I meant change).

When we are talking politics and history of cause the emotion felt is still relevant, it's not as important as facts if you want a balanced reflection of what actually occurred and the right or the wrongs of a situation. Something might feel right at the time and bring positive emotion however will only lead to further suffering.. Can't think of a current example <whistle>

Think yourself lucky as I was growing up we had bloody power cuts all the time and strikes where all the rubbish piled up causing rats. People couldn't get buried and the bodies mounted (although I didn't see that part of it). She changed all that and also gave my mum and Dad a chance to own their home. Growing up around that era taught me to respect money and people. It wasn't so materialistic then. Saying all that in the last 20 years I have seen this country go through a new change which was also needed.
