Not only can Charlie Brooker write, see above, he's about to marry Konnie Huq. Some guys have all the luck! ;-)

Agreed. Love his Guardian column and Screen/Newswipe are one of the only credible things on telly.

According to a recent poll, one in five Americans believes Barack Obama is a Muslim, even though he isn't. A quarter of those who believe he's a Muslim also claimed he talks about his faith too much. Americans aren't dumb. Clearly these particular Americans have either gone insane or been seriously misled. Where are they getting their information?

Sixty per cent said they learned it from the media. Which means it's time for the media to give up.

Seriously, broadcasters, journalists: just give up now. Because either you're making things worse, or no one's paying attention anyway. May as well knock back a few Jagermeisters, unplug the autocue, and just sit there dumbly repeating whichever reality-warping meme the far right wants to go viral this week. What's that? Obama is Gargamel and he's killing all the Smurfs? Sod it. Whatever. Roll titles.

Haha

You're right, Brooker is likely to be less wealthy than the unknown American man.

Brooker is just amazing. Everyone should be forced to watch Newswipe before they are allowed to watch the news.
