It's entirely possible to take a moire-free shot. Scanlines/shadowmask won't be visible in resized images, depending on size. You can also run filters in postprocess which will smooth the image.
Not saying that's what necessarily happened (at least in all the cases) and that they always shot CRTs, but I have an increasing feeling that perhaps your'e recalling these revolutionary, "crisp" images with nostalgia-glasses on. Even if they got rid of some of the tube artifacts, by using grabbers or whatever else, there were still other problems, at least in some random latter-day pics I'm looking at. Feel free to link to some examples though (all these mags are online), I'm quite interested in this subject.
