In this television news special, Charlie talks about the need to entertain on the news and also the rise of 24 hour news. Adam Curtis talks about the rise and fall of the television journalist.
There is a regular TV program in Germany. It is called "News from 25 years ago" - in German, obviously - and it is just a rerun of of the news from 25 years ago. It is eerily close to the news of the day. Crisis in the middle east, basically everyone is in debt and Afghanistan is a mess. Oh and every sunday it is replaced with a Rerun of a weekly report.
i feel for that sky news lady who announced harold pinter had died, they all in depressing news/scare the viewer mode so often on sky its hard to switch off. its surprising she didnt annouce he'd gone on a shooting spree in a london mosque
@thefinalflower Yeah he's awesome. He had serious balls to say something that controversial on television. We need more people like to stand up to this country's brainwashing bullshit.
Bill O'Reilly. If we'd meet aliens I'd sent him to represent the entire human race. As much as a warning about what humans are like at their worst, as well as an insentive to cleanse this entire planet of homo sapiens, starting with good old Billy.
Wow, way to expand a special edition into two series.

Almost 34,000 views and not one dislike. What a role model! *Captain Kirk punches woman in face*

Cast iron anchor? Is that a rhyming slang?
7:28 that mystery man looks suspiciously like Barry Shitpeas...
wonder how that carpenter felt when they asked him to quickly pose with his arm next to his newly-severed hand
@JustAboutCrazy Yes he is, but it's hilarious to watch him.
@JustAboutCrazy
Not calling him at least a gargantuan amoral piece of shit seems like such an understatement...
I thought "cast iron anchor" might be a rhyming slang for "wanker"?
