Charlie Brooker's News Wipe

it was great, my favourite bit was where joined clips of the expert saying how not to cover school shootings with the news doing exactly what he was telling them not to do
 
Great stuff, reminds me why I don't watch the news when it's all bullshit tabloid Brass Eye esque guff
 
I've just seen it and it made me sad:(.

The most effective piece was the examination of the school killings in Germany, it really brought home just how ghoulish and disgusting our media is. Having the experienced forensic pathologist explain just what should be done to prevent an increase in Serial killings and seeing the bloody idiots doing the exact opposite increased the despair that I felt.

The bit about the so called 'anti-war' protest was spot on, good on you Brooker!


I should also praise Nick Davis' peice on the PR industry. One of the finest examples of clear reporting ever seen.


Still, welcome to £MAGEDDON everyone, Hurray!

(PS does anyone actually now understand quantitative easing?)
 
(PS does anyone actually now understand quantitative easing?)
Sure. It is like filling your car's petrol tank with air and convincing the car that the tank is full of petrol. Only the petrol is money and the car is all the banks. It makes absolute, perfect sense.

I think. :wtf:
 
Quantitative easing is very much like an idea Tacky once suggested. So it must be utter tosh, and full of fail.
 
^^^Well i must admit to being a CB fan since my days subscribing to PCZone......so i always have a lot of time for him and his stuff, and so far he has not disappointed.....i had my reservations about Dead Set but he scuppered them quickly.
 
Can Mr Brooker do no wrong.....it looks like it, another great show.
well we have yet to see his C4 TV review show, will it be as good as Screenwipe, or will it just be Brookers TV Burp, ie minus the interesting, industry and how much stuff costs bits
WTF is interesting about TV Burp? I tried to watch it once and couldn't make it through an episode; it was complete rubbish.
 
Bob and Wamdue have a difference of opinion on TV burp.....But which is right........There's only one way to find out.......FIGHT!!!!!!!!

:lol:
