CBS Evening News with Katie Couric added a little twist to it's newscast on Feb. 8. Josh Landis and Mitch Butler are the two men behind a three minute segment of the newscast, called Fast Draw, "an animated series created with dry-erase markers that tries to shed light on news developments." This segment of Fast Draw was to try and better explain the political power wielded by superdelegates. Landis said that with Fast Draw, they can easily, and in a more simple way, explain complex topics in the news. As well as the segment during th Evening News, Fast Draw has appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning three times.
I love this! I am the kind of person who learns better if you break things down into "kindergarden terms" and give me visuals, so this would be perfect for me. I think CBS made a great decision to add this to their newscasts, as I feel people will be more inclined to watch it if it can be explained to them, not just read off of a teleprompter.

I think that this is a good idea, I mean I would watch it. I could very well understand why some people would not like this. Some people may not like the idea of things being broken down to them if they already know what people are talking about. I am interested to see what happens, if this will have good or bat ratings. For me, I would probably watch it because I am more of a visual learner.
I agree with you on this topic. I really don't keep up with anything that has to do with politics because there are so much complex answers coming from presidential candidates and political officals to questions involving the citizens of this country. I think that by having this cartoon on CBS, it will make it easier the mass population and myself to understand the issues that is affecting us today.
