"The holograms, the virtual sets. The British media has contracted a devastating case of CNN-itis. It’s when a news organisation spends a great deal of time creating
visuals and set pieces, which have no discernible purpose and shed no
perceptible light and actually distract you from what it was they were
trying to find out."
Jon Stewart on the BBC's election coverage. You might well replace "CNN-itis" with "The Day Today-itis". I bet Robert Peston can't wait to wheel out the Currency Cat.
At least none of the BBC's news reporters have started using the word "cunt" in their pieces yet. Eh? Oh.
