 by Fabrice Florin - Jan. 29, 2010

This fake news skit demonstrates with humor some of the cliches that make MSM TV news so predictable. Hilarious and informative at the same time. Hosted by BBC Four's rising star, comic Charlie Brooker (England's answer to the Daily Show with John Stewart). A smart and funny eye-opener about the news we consume.
