Charlie Brooker, in the new episode of his show Newswipe, says "In terms of raw drama, the men of Dystopian future, Sci fi satirical shoutie porn (i think), sledge hammer of Fox News win out every time" when explaining how American news presenters are hands down better showmen than their brothers on the Beeb.
Thinking of Fox News as a skew of reality, rather than simply a skewed way of looking at it, makes the channel so much more watchable. I only wait for the day when, for what ever reason, William Gibson appears as a commentator on the latest cyber crime story and the code comes alive. And maybe Wintermute will be on Pap Bear's show, excoriating him for his recent remarks that algorithmic sentiences are not people, and do not have the right to marry.

Your love for Charlie Brooker is like my love for Vladimir Putin.
And this is awesome.
