manicstreetpreacher is RAOTFL at Charlie Brooker’s latest successful aim at the nail’s head.
The UK government’s recent pointless upgrading of its terror threat monitor status to “severe” was an inexplicable and bizarre episode to put it mildly. I am wondering what they were trying to spin out of the headlines. Fortunately, Charlie Brooker’s inspired Newswipe gave it the treatment it deserved in a segment aptly titled “The Week in Bullshit”.
Brooker’s superb takedown of prime time news and comment shows has also produced this inspired dissection of pro-forma news reports.
Why is this show relegated to BBC Four?
