If I may toss some tiny little brickbats through your new window:
First, lose the arrow hiding the mouth. If you can’t get rid of the arrow, move the mouth.
Second, Peter Hart and Steve Rendall have fine speaking voices, but their talking heads get a bit tedious. How about a medium shot of several people at a desk, or more voice-overs, or some split-screen mugging à la John Stewart? You could also have guest experts respond to the latest lies strewn along the campaign trail.
Finally, add a printout to the commentary. The latest FAIR TV was devastating, and the dearth of comments on it here suggest that a lot of FAIR fans don’t sit through visuals much.
