I wonder what cognitive scores you've got to exhibit in order to be an on-camera operator for the news?

This is sort of like the Homermobile, only they gave Homer a news room and said "Go for your life and make the coolest newsroom ever to grace this green earth!".

Are they actual workers, or just background set pieces? (The people using the tablets.)
