 How to Report the NewsPosted on Jan 28, 2010
This clip is, as they say across the pond, brilliant. A humorous fellow by the name of Charlie Brooker has cracked the not-so-secret code to how one properly reports the news, and it involves meaningful hand gestures, well-timed freezes, man-on-the-street reportage and headless shots of overweight people milling through metropolitan foot traffic. Watch and learn! But do note that there’s a bit of salty language in this one. —KA YouTube: Advertisement Previous item: ‘Wall Street 2’ Teaser: Greed Is Good, Legal Next item: Teleprompter Malfunction Leaves Obama Speechless New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

Great bit, although they didn’t mention the extremely important element of gravitas!

How to Report the News
The same way a gypsy makes chicken soup. First thing
is
steal a chicken.
With “news”, first thing is to own & control the
Report thisvarious venues, the quintessential example being
Ruppert Murdock. Next is to hire both eye candy &
expert fecal vomiters like the crapulent, corpulent
one & pay him 30 million dollars a year to spew venom
& numb & dumb his audience. Having think tanks to
create “facts” to sell your propaganda,e.g. the CATO
INSTITUTE & THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION, makes cerebral
laundering easy & effective. Prepackaged sound bites
are always ready to follow shock & awe events like
9/11 or the various Kennedy assassinations. And
finally, to minimize the interruption of important
revenue producers like sports events, streaming the
bogus bullshit at the top or bottom of the screen is
very effective, some even compare it to the
subliminal techniques of days gone by.

You can lead a horse to truth, but you can’t make him think.
