The aim of Newswipe was to expose the inner workings of news media, just as Screenwipe does to television in general. The series was a comic, thoughtful and acerbic analysis of recent news coverage. Newswipe also looked at the way the news is presented to the public. Experts were on hand to pick apart certain stories and analysed the news media's obsessions. (en.wikipedia.org)

Would it be fair to compare this sort of topical humorous news show to the likes of late night live American equivalents like Jon Stewart, John Oliver, et el? Because if so, this is shit-loads better and funnier than them, yet unfortunately far less frequent. It's good to see Brooker unravel the true stories going on across the pond, and this is one of his better shows only because this has content from Doug Stanhope, Adam Curtis, and good ol' Barry Shitpeas.

With the current decrepit state of news media, this is the satire of it I didn't know I needed. And it's an especially smart, funny one.
