On CBS News’ Sunday morning public affairs show, “Face the Nation,” moderator Margaret Brennan started the show with an extended tease and simple graphic of McCain’s photo set against a black background.

Brennan started the show in front of a prerecorded video loop of the Capitol, which, notably, appears to have a modified version with the flag in front of the dome at half-staff, like it was Sunday morning.
