Has anyone else grown tired of the split screen? |
|
We know the oil is gushing. There is no need to show the split screen of oil gushing every time someone from the administration speaks. Unless, of course, the media has an agenda? :shrug:

1. I kinda missed the 9/11 smoking rubble split screen |
|
This feels so familiar, we should welcome it. Its reassuring to have disaster perpetually hammered into your nog.

3. The split screen is nice, depending on who's on the other side. |
|
If it's Chuck Todd, the smaller the better for that piece of crap.
Don't like his politics, don't like the way he looks, don't like the sound of his voice. But I do prefer his network over the others. Although MSNBC needs to bring back David Shuster!
Hey, MSNBC...get rid of Todd, and replace him with Shuster! That would be a good deal for everyone.

6. I hate the split screen... |
|
I also hate the scrolling crap along the bottom.
the way "news" is presented now is a exercise in concentration. So much crap going on, it's impossible to properly pay attention. but that might be the whole point now isn't it?
like the carpets and decor in veges. it's designed so you can't concentrate.

Especially with debates or speeches, where you're just trying to watch the damn thing. I don't need to see random, self-annointed experts' reactions, or worse, narration. News networks should be fined for being so annoying with this crap {hyperbole}.
