Kind of. At least it used to. When I was doing offshore rotation little over a decade ago, we had two news channels onboard. BBC vs CNN. I remember them having the exact same difference in style, and CNN annoyed the fuck out of me.
“Knock off the CGI, I just want to learn what’s up with the Chilean miners, or what this new terrorist organization in the middle east is”.
I had a discussion with a coworker about this during commercial break, where I argued that BBC had more actual substance, where he argued for CNNs ability to make it more entertaining. Guess the nationality of my coworker.

Is it even news if the CGI never happened?
