Who at O'Reilly would you fire? The graphics team? The programming editor? Or is there someone in there that is supposed to do fact-checking and verification of the graphics?
I really don't know the process for getting graphics up on a commentary show (for live TV it goes quickly and we expect mistakes like the CNN "Shuttle going 10x the speed of light" mistake, but I would hope that for something like O'Reilly they'd take more time to get it right, and that it'd have some kind of oversight). Since these shows tend to be 'in the can' before going on, how would you suggest that it be yanked down when noticed? Is there a way to insert improved or repaired graphics on the fly? That'd be far too cool!
