Wolf Blitzer will be conducting interviews with faraway strategists by hologram

As the news networks spend oodles of cash in order to one-up the other with whiz-bang visuals and mind-melting charts, CNN is looking to blow just about everyone else away. As election night officially kicks off in just a few hours, the network's Wolf Blitzer will be conducting interviews with faraway strategists not via the traditional two-pane window, but by hologram. Believe it or not, professionals in Chicago and Phoenix will be beamed live to CNN's New York studios in order to give viewers a look at Wolf and a ghostly counterpart. Granted, this is far from the first holographic / 3D interview we've seen, but it is rather impressive given the scenario. In related news, we're also told that FOX News will be touting a "giant wall with touch-screen technology [that] will provide electoral map results," which hopefully translates in geek speak to "Surface."

hahahaha wow, i can't wait to see that, i think these people on CNN all did a line of coke before they started

CNN trys too hard to be everything to everyone.

That said, I would like to see a holographic Wolf Blitzer. That guy has the most awesome name ever, by the way. If I ever get a dog (hopefully a husky) I'll name him that.

You know, I've always thought that Fox News got the biggest ratings boost from the start of the Iraq war because they had the best graphics. Maybe this will give CNN the lead.

I agree. I'd hire a man named Wolf Blitzer for any job without any prequalifications.

What will be cool is when they get a device that beams live sporting events with 1/8 scale holographic players into the middle of your living room.

Yes, because it was fucking retarded. Upper management probably saw it for the first time and flipped out.
