Betsy Rothstein of The Daily Caller writes that the redesign of online graphics at CNBC imitates what rival Fox Business Network did with its graphics two years ago.
Rothstein writes, “Today CNBC, a 25-year-old network announced plans to redesign their graphics package for an apparently more streamlined approach. And if this looks familiar, that’s because it is — Fox Business made the switch back in 2012.
“When FBN underwent their makeover, among the major differences was a ‘wing’ (an info panel on the right side of the screen) which they removed. At the time, the only network that reportedly still had this wing was CNBC. Is this all just really catty? Probably.
