During an interview on CNN, comedian Lewis Black complained
about CNN's "overuse" of key graphic banners and tickers. 24
hour news networks use similar banners and news tickers, that
often prevent viewers from seeing the lower portion of the
primary video.
Interrupting his interview with CNN's Miles O'Brien and
looking toward backstage, Black demanded: "You guys -- and let
me just say this to CNN -- you guys have got have got to start
[to] take the thing off the bottom of the page. Take the words
off the bottom of the screen! There are people talking here."
