The distracting graphics are lifted directly from CNN. Evan Solomon is a poor replacement for and lacks the gravitas of my favorite talking corpse, Don Newman. Again, Power and Politics appears to be a rebrand of a CNN product. Having Mansbridge stand in our own version of the Situation Room is probably giving him nightmares. If we insist on playing copycat, why not adopt the BBC format. BBC is modern with neat graphics, but still feels like objective news and investigative journalism.
