This is one of the most brilliant parodies of the MSM that I've ever seen.

It's a multi-part series from Australia. There were two "seasons," in 2002 and 2003. The fake TV station CNNNN (Chaser Non-Stop News Network--the fourth 'N' doesn't mean anything) does some absolutely amazing segments that put Faux, CNN, and MSNBC to shame. It's absolutely hysterical.

Watch them.

(Go to "Video" on the horizontal menu across the top. It'll take you to the 2003 archive. On that page, there's a link to the 2002 stuff.)

ETA: I suggest going to the 2002 vault and watching "People Believe the Darnedest Things." Creationist fundies. :D

"No, they should not be able to get welfare payments." LOL

2. Their tv show was hilarious...

A couple of the guys work on Australian radio (Triple J) now.

3. Here's a link to a new BBC

series in much the same vein:

It's very funny - I believe there are some clips on this page.

You could also check out 'The Day Today' a BBC 90's spoof that had very dark and funny moments.
