OMG! That's bullshit!

That's what I call fair and balanced reporting.

That wasn't bullshit, it was bearshit. But the corporate media doesn't want to admit we're in a bear market.

Right onl. Very tired of stupid news, especially as there is loads of Real News people never hear about if they don't have NYT, WSJ, Economist and BBC, to name some descent sources, at hand.

Minus the profanity, this reminds me of the ads the Willes-run LA Times(which was especial bullshit :-P ) used to run in theaters.

Heh, I was reminded of the "How To Report The News" video very recently when some datawankery turned up this comment.

"I'm just some fucking guy" is now my personal motto.

The Brooker video is great, too.

Our local Global news is a bit looser than either video, but they don't totally escape it.
