I think a picture in the same story prompted my question here. I would find a standard picture of that animal bastard revolting. The out of focus sidebars make it worse, at least for me.

Almost every night my local news out Philly shows a video with the distracting sidebars. Sometimes I look away. Sometimes I shut it off. Perhaps I should write to the producers.

Back in ancient times when I was involved in RTF production, the cardinal sin was dead air/no picture. Maybe this is just a puke-worthy evolution of similar thinking. 'Better to fill all of the screen than leave anything blank, even if it's stupid, distracting and annoying.'


Perhaps younger folks who've grown up with it might object if the practice is ended.

Have a nice day.
