She was holding her iPhone at arms length filing her report to MSNBC. Great...send a reporter into the field, but don't bother with any camera or sound people.

Oddly, though, it's probably not an issue for young people (who don't watch MSNBC anyway), but us 50-somethings remember when we had real news agencies, not kids sent into the field with an iPhone and a $20 stipend.
