Guardian columnist compares British & American cable news
Excerpt:

Charlie Brooker, a columnist for the UK's Guardian newspaper and creator of popular television show "Newswipe," a show that aimes to show the inner workings of the news media.

In this video, Brooker compares British cable news shows with American cable news shows and makes fun of both. His style is touted as "satirical pessimism" by Wikipedia.

See the video here, it's quite entertaining.
