Remember the election? The dancing of the numbers across John King's magic screen on CNN, as states rose and fell and changed colors before your eyes? Viewers liked that, apparently. Fox is just now figuring that out.

Except the magic screen concept isn't so magical when all you're doing is trying to illustrate the impact of America's 20 million-barrel-a-day oil habit by taking a clipart image of a barrel of oil and reproducing it a couple times and saying, "And then you've got all these different oil barrels." A refrigerator and some magnets would have done the trick.
