I was accidentally looking at a horse race yesterday
and they showed it forshortened from up the course
instead of from the side. You had no idea what was in
the lead. I've never seen/heard anything on TV about
horse equipment, why some horses have to be pushed
into the starting stalls etc. Neither the betting
public nor the TV companies could care less.
I think the general standard of TV reporting - not
just sports reporting - is poor, but most people don't
have sufficient understanding of what's going on to
notice it.
In my opinion the right way forward for shooting on TV
is, indeed, to get someone who knows what they're
talking about to commentate and to keep on urging the
editing of recordings to show the important bits,
bearing in mind shooting's now - it wasn't always - a
minority sport.
