Wolf Blitzer, News for People with ADD

Welcome to Wolf Blitzer's "The Situation Room". About a month or so ago Wolf Blitzer on CNN started a "raw news" show that purports to give you the news as it's happening. The set is just amazing array of TV split screens. We see Wolf standing infront of a display wall, actually two of them. On one the wall is split into 8 sets of displays. Often one of those 8 is itself split into four. We see, in one view 1) Wolf interviewing somone on on display, 2) a scene of a helicopter dropping water onto a fire, 3) an overhead view of hurracaine destruction, 4) the burial of a supreme court justice, 5) a second view of hurracaine destruction, 6) a third view of hurracaine destruction, 7) long view of broken bridges, 8) a map with a pulsating point of interest. Are you dizzy yet! Just try wathing this stuff.

On top of all this maniacle visuals, Wolf often interviews somone who controls a Google Earth zooming view of some area and this guy love to zoom in and out and tilt the view. I'm getting motion sick watching this stuff!
