They are scared about just having a talking head on the screen and feel the need to supply a stream of different visual images to keep the audience "entertained". News is of course a form of entertainment these days folks.
I feel sorry for the poor devils of reporters that are sent to stand outside buildings so that they can provide the 10pm news with an on the spot report. Do we really need to see someone standing outside Papworth hospital to update us on Phillip Mountbatten's heart. For pete's sake!!!!
