Ridiculous graphics accompanying news stories...AAAGGHHH

[LittlePushka]

Am I alone in thinking that the BBC has reached an all time low in its news presentation? Why do sories have to be accompanied by whizzy diagrams and grahics that add nothing to the comprehension of the story?

ueg. I have jst seen a very brief item on the millionaire fire stating that an unknown male body has also been founf. It was accompanied by a silouette of a mans head with a quetionmark in it. How banal...it frankly insulting to the mass populaion who watch the news.

Hear hear. Also the need to go to venues just for the sake of it. Like anything vaguely royal Nicholas Witchell stands outside Buck Palace in the dark no lights on or flag so obviously no one there.

No,...what is broken news?

Oh yes and the dreadfully theatrical weather forecasters who do oscar winning sweeps when fronts pass over or flick their wrists for rain.

Just tell me what the weather will be, I can see the map and I can put those two bits of information together.... grrrr

And The Day Today too. Am amazed at how regular news is becoming more Chris Morris instead of less with all the pointless graphics.

BB must get some 15 year old geek to do it because the spelling is often wrong... now I know that ours is not alwaysgreat on MN,..but we are tappng away in a chat room not broadcasting further information for further clarity for the nation.

And also, whilst I am on this rant, why do the presenters have to walk about the set with a huge screen behind them? (Usually displaying all those barmy graphics...

OhAlso, when item relates to housing slump we get shots of estate agents boards, yawn!
