Charlie Brooker Gets It Right
Sep. 27th, 2013 08:14 pmHear, hear. I will regain some confidence in our news media when the next shooting atrocity is introduced thusly:
In other news, there was a shooting locally. Police are on the scene and investigating. We will bring a few details as they develop, but will not lionize the shooter in any way, including mentioning his name on air. For the same reason, we do not send our reporters wading into the sewers with a camera to point out the biggest, weirdest or strangest pieces of excrement to float by.
And now, here's Bob with the weather.
Sadly, I find it telling that Charlie Brooker is almost unknown in these here United States. It's as if his body of work attacks a business model that is currently enjoying enormous profits.
