i personally was a bit heartened to find that there is a similar perception of UK newshosts as there is here in America.  But watching someone break down the issues with UK News similar to what the daily show does for the US is quite revelatory, esp since there is a ton of fellatiation of UK news.

The little suicide bomber sprite for that new network in the second video is fucking disturbing. Brooker calls it a little Megadrive like sprite that walks across the top of the news ticker. It walks from right to left then explodes.

Also, the Glenn Beck segment... God...  :-\
