Newswipe with Charlie Brooker - Season 2 Episode 2 

I did Media Studies at A level and I've learned more about the media from Charlie's shows than from Media lessons.

Haha, that 'news report' template bit is so good.... "It starts here, with a lacklustre establishing shot of a significant location..."

How dare you not leave me with the customary "go away" that I have grown so used to.

Cheers for all the uploads, all I've done when not doing anything is watching Screenwipe & Newswipe

If you were ever hoping that someone would do a TV show that moved forward while being fully aware of the Medium is the Message and Amusing Ourselves to Death than you're in luck because this is it. Great show, nothing quite like it.

I think she is being more than a little kind to the American media.

"La Roux is like Jedward for people who don't like music" I know my opinion doesn't mean much but I honestly didn't mind La Roux in her more famous days, but that's largely because she was only really famous for about a month or two and then she just kind of faded into obscurity like so many other pop artists do on a regular basis. As for her music, I don't really think it's bad but I don't consider it anything special either, it's almost like her music is designed to be played in the background at a chip shop.

Controversy reenactment at the beginning always gets me: Nazi punching a baby!! lol

I love Brookers work, but the American journalist complaining about anonymous sources as if it is some British thing that is unknown in the US is rubbish. Huge numbers of American newspaper, TV and online articles in the US are full of quotes followed by "the source did not give their name as they were not authorized to speak to the media" or "was not authorized to speak publicly". US journalists do this all the time!

had to skip the dappy bit, it was soo painful

I wish they'd bring This show to the US. We need it too.

no its a picnic hahahaha

15:45 She's wrong, sources don't only avoid being named in order to avoid accountability. They can be afraid of losing their jobs, being victimised or passed over for promotion, being ostracised or blacklisted, or even being bumped off. If whistleblowers are forced to be identified immediately and with no protection there will be a lot fewer whistleblowers. What she said about anonymity breeding lying and manipulation is right, but if we want sources in the know to come forward it's not necessarily the best policy to insist they always be named straight away.

Oh my god he said goodbye instead of go away

A USA type American casting aspirsion on something British? Finally! We needed this after Trump. We are finally better than them in something important. Go Heather Brooke (15:15) ❤️🇬🇧🇻🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

tim key.... i fast forward past him

I like the way the presenter manages to squeeze 'clarify' into the butter conversation with the Indian Dr.

As a Muslim, I'll just say I'm glad he isn't in my country representing me.

10:27 Silly Charlie, you've only gone and accidentally put on an episode of Black Mirror by mistake

6:43 sounded to me like he was going to say "Liberal Democrats".

"The closest we have to Taliban is... well, we don't really have it, we'd have to travel" Say what you want about Tim Key, this one was brilliant :)

Always nice to see Bradford mentioned... Hold me ;_;

Whenever I watch one of these amazing shows I just think..... fuck me we're doomed. 😢

How am I just finding out about Brooke! ...I LOVE BLACK MIRROR

a play written by a dog lmaoooo

Is pron a version of Tron?

Could anyone please identify the tune at 1:33? It sounds like it must be an arrangement of a pop song but I'd really appreciate being told the name of it. Thank you.

So if I watch five and half hours of television I have a 100% chance of dying. But I've already watched five hours in my life so far! Am I going to die in half an hour's time? :(

27:20 Funniest thing ever

Anyone know what that tune is starting at 6:00?

I love it when people say 'its nice to have diversity.... but...'

The joy of being able to skip the woeful Tim Key segments...huzzah!

This is super good

Never gets old...

8:39 Aye of boredom, at that mindless bint talk👜😴

15:07 moondog!

Right downerfrom owl man to.haiti

I think you totally missed the point of that section, and the reason he included the clip of the Muslim woman explaining the way the small, loud, extremists, get all the attention for their bad deeds, leaving a mark on all the rest of the Muslims. Most people who know of these extremists don't realize that the extremists are of a completely different following of Islam. There is pre-Muhammad, and post-Muhammad, and post-Muhammad is the violent, extremist, Islam. It went right over you didn't it?

did anyone else think of the pron star when charlie said Heather Brooke?

no more "Go Away" ? :(

now is it a publicity stunt

That handbag report was incredibly offensive.

Honestly I've lived in Wootton Bassett for nearly all my childhood and I never knew about this. I was little at the time I guess

Choudary.is mi6

I can see why Dappy always wears a hat.

why do they keep inviting tim key he´s terrible on anything he´s on. he must have the gratest agent of all times

:)

Why is Wootten Bassett symbolic?

anybody know the music at 14:12

Heather Brooke seems like a jolly good egg

Did they actually eat butter??

Dappy on This Week confirms why I’m glad this awful show has finished
