  • Brooker covers news presentations of the G20 conference and its focus on resolving the economic downturn, paying particular attention to coverage of Barack Obama. Later in the episode, Brooker examines the wave of protests that surrounded the G20, and how in the ensuing media coverage, the message of the protestors was lost (as pointed out by Labour politician Tony Benn) and instead became secondary to the violence and public damage which took place. Brooker also seriously notes how despite the apparently exhaustive coverage, the death of Ian Tomlinson was missed entirely by the larger news broadcasters, and required the work of an investigative journalist to be brought to light. Also included is a piece by Ben Goldacre which discusses the media's portrayal of the supposed link (later discredited) between autism and the MMR vaccine.

    Having the patterns and methods of the theatrical media spelled out .. naturally it all seems obvious in retrospect. Makes me feel a bit thick for having only really noticed "it makes me feel very unhappy and anxious if I watch news often" and "anyone who becomes suddenly down and withdrawn is quite likely overindulging on news"

      I know you left that comment a year ago. Probably longer, infact you might of even forgotten about it altogether or found the answer out. But in summary its another way to describe albeit an abstract one to describe excrement. Sky News had the word 'excrement' written in big letters on the screen. Funnily enough excrement is good word to describe Sky News.
