Newswipe (BBC)

If anyone followed the Screenwipe series, Charlie Brooker is tearing apart media / tv journalism on his new show. i dont know why the brits are able to be so much more honest about tv on tv, but damn he does not pull punches.

1. Must See TV!
Wasn't sure if this was going to be as good as Screenwipe from the 1st episode, but it has improved a lot. The FoxNews critique was funny, and I'm sure it would have been pretty jaw-dropping to British viewers unfamiliar with Fox's style.

The stuff on the G20 summit was good too. Loved the conference hall / Dr Strangelove comparisons!

And even John Stewart wouldn't dare to show you a man on a couch masturbating to a description of Obama's Presidential Limo!!

Plenty of newswipe on YouTube for the curious.
