I''m watching Channel Four news (anyone else find Jon Snow weirdly attractive?); specifically their coverage of the MTAS data leak. Leaving aside the technical aspect of it, I couldn't stop laughing at the way they chose to generate visual content for this story of unintended viewing of a website - by creating an Excel spreadsheet with loads of dummy data in it, and filming someone scrolling up and down it.
I suppose it saves money they can then use to make shlocky "documentaries"!

I'm sorry to pour cold water on your scorn, but it was apparently an Excel spreadsheet that was accidentally placed on the website.
I agree that the scrolling was unnecessary though and typical second-rate journalism though ;-)
