charlie brooker on fox news

[starlit__]

If you haven't been watching Newswipe, then you are missing out on Charlie Brooker describing Fox News as a "dystopian future sci-fi satirical shouty-porn sledgehammer channel".

He also does a terrifying segment on Glenn Beck. How the fuck did that man get on television?

I don't know who this person is, but I certainly approve of his description of Fox--- that's precisely what it is. It's so precisely that, that I'm going to send this quote to all of my American friends.

Oh Angela, you must watch Newswipe - and Screenwipe too, they're all on YouTube. Charlie Brooker is the angriest, funniest, most cynical man. You'll love it.

Glenn Beck was the scary blond Nazi Youth one, wasn't he? I don't like him.

All the Fox News people are terrifying. Keith Olbermann always does great coverage of their ridiculousness (although he might be over-obsessed with O'Reilly).

Did you see any coverage of the tea parties that Fox News heavily advocated for? Lots of racist signs and people comparing their taxes to the Holocaust (maybe it would help if Fox explained that, actually, everyone is getting their taxes cut unless they make over $250,000 but facts tend to get in the way).

I can't believe that so many people consider them a reputable source of news. It's all nonsense.

Aw, I can't see that because I'm not in the UK. I'm going to look on youtube, because that is an excellent description of Fox News. Unfortunately, the reason I know this is because my entire family watches it and thinks it's awesome.
