I guess his character was pretty much just a broadcast guy, but I think this illustration may have had that character in mind.

I might be missing something here, but it doesn't strike me as making fun of multimedia journalism. And the line "Multimedia journalism isn't funny; it's something more serious than this" just strikes me as being a little too uptight.
