I tried asking Google this, but all I got was the problem CRT had in relation to Screen Burn, which didn't answer my problem question.
It relates to a number of American TV shows, I can't remember which network, I call it the NCIS Network because the NCIS franchise of shows have it and I also watch reruns of Scorpion, which has it too and I think the updated MacGuyver does this too, where there's a group of people in a scene along with a Computer Screen with writing constantly being written onscreen and rolling the screen along as it moves to the next line.
I thought maybe that's believable at NCIS because their Networked with other departments or has a major Hub with all these updates, though at Scorpion their kind of Independant since their a bunch of Intelligent people, okay their kinda attached to Homeland and Cabe Gallow is a representative from their, though he just doesn't seem to be the sort to be at the computer reading updates of some kind.
So I'm now puzzled why a number of shows do it and to me it makes the show less believable, yes it puts a bit more action onscreen of a distracting kind, if it were a mystery I could see where that could be used to distract the viewer from a critical bit in the story.
