Newswipe
Charlie Brooker’s new program is nowhere as successful or funny as previous incarnation Screenwipe because its focus on current affairs rather than pop culture ephemera makes him look like the poor man’s Jon Stewart.
The most interesting aspect about the whole programme is the time he provides to other people like Peter Oborne and Adam Curtis. Even hearing Ben Goldacre summarise his views (again) on the media’s culpability for the MMR scandal was good.
This is the kind of thing that C4’s Three Minute Wonder should carry.
