CNN's graphics glut
Anyone see all the crazy graphics on CNN on debate nights? I thought I was gonna have a seizure looking at all of those flashing lights and swirling graphics.

The NY Daily News actually has an article today about all of their nonsense:

Watch CNN Headline News' "Nancy Grace" on any given night and you'll see a dizzying level of graphics and images.
There's a news scroll at the bottom, another graphic repeating what they're taking about on the screen, a breaking-news scroll, an occasional exclusive tag, a Caylee Anthony tips tag and a live button.

Factor in a split screen or more, and the screen becomes the TV equivalent of a Kiss pinball machine. Enough already.

Of course people need this kind of stuff these days to stay interested, the rest is all CRAP!
