Posted By: Michael Sweeney Apr. 12, 2009 Unlike many things beyond some of my own writing (hey – you’ve got to like your own stuff, right?), this actually made me laugh out loud when I saw it…

It’s a segment from BBC TV’s Charlie Brooker’s "Newswipe" show – which looks at the inner workings of the news media. And, much to his international audience’s likely surprise, Brooker has discovered the extremes of some of the US’s most notable news sources. MSNBC (and my man, Keith O.) gets a little drive-by mention…but the main target of Brooker’s delightful mocking is FOX News and its troika-of-morons, Billo, the Manatee, and Ever-Cryin’ Beck.
