History in Five: Jeffrey Frank on Eisenhower and Nixon

What the HELL is going on with the camera at 1:28 - 3:14 - 3:48 - 4:19 - 4:52 ? Suddenly we're looking at the side of the speaker's face, he's apparently talking to somebody else, and we're eavesdropping. What kind of moron calls these camera angles? What are we trying to do, undermine the whole piece?

That's what we get when the ADHD generation starts producing video content, I guess. It seems to be one of the "special effects" deployed nowadays to make videos...more ...interesting? If you think this is bad, though, it was much worse during the 1990's and early 2000's, especially on channels with content aimed at teens and younger audiences.
