When's the last time you watch television news? Can you sit through a 1/2 hour of it?
It could point out things they are NOT saying and suppressed stories.
It could be hilarious, actually.
Technically it's not hard, and with TV's having internet connections these days, maybe there's some way to offer it as a service.

Years ago, and no I couldn't sit through a half hour of it - unless I were adding snide commentary to it!

My point is modifying the chyron can't be done. It's so uncomfortable to listen to these people that nobody would watch it, no matter how funny or clever it was.
People who watch television news don't generally read chyrons, and the only people who do is because the current story is boring to them, and the chyron is a promise of the next report.
