Charlie Brooker’s newswipe
The new series of Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe is already online.
For those familiar with the format, Charlie Brooker (incredibly smart and witty geek) evaluates the week’s news and leads a 30 minute show where apart from general mockery of News Channels and how they distort news, often offers a really interesting view on how things work in the world of television.
A sort of Daily Show with Jon Stewart but with a lower budget a more British banter.
Honestly, I always learn something.
Links, after the jump.
For those living in the UK, you can find the entire episode on the BBC iPlayer.
For the rest of the world, below are youtube links to the episode.
I honestly don’t understand the whole not available outside the UK by the way.
Charlie Brooker is one of the best things the UK has to offer. The BeeB (as known by the locals) should put his show on BBC world, or simply open the BBC iPlayer to the rest of the world. We’ve already paid for it, let the world watch it!
