Israel-Palestine: Russell Brand tears down Sean Hannity
Hey look. "He's a comedian" should be the first thing you mentioned, because that's what he is. He's a clever and compassionate guy, but he's ultimately a comedian.
The guys he's referring to are supposed to work in news reporting.
You'll have to give him artistic license to use his skills to lampoon and lambaste their skills. He isn't going to professionally debate Hannity especially when the man can't even allow a debate to happen on a national news station. He is certainly capable of it, but don't expect him (a comedian) to take the high ground over a news anchor. If the anchor wants to act like a child and use silly methods to trick people, Brand is fully entitled to use his superior silly methods to highlight the truth.
Couple of points on his followup, none of which is intended to defend the unprofessional style of the Fox interviewer.
* Makes excuse for the Hamas charter stating "they're just really angry".
* Picks on pronunciation, while calling Hannity childish in the previous video.
* Points out that Fox making fun after discussing a very serious situation reduced it to entertainment, then thanked his panel of Jesus, flowers and Gandhi.
Yes, he's a comedian, but this is precisely why he shouldn't have made the last charge. There's nothing wrong with making light at the end of a serious topic, as long as you're not making light of the topic itself.
Israel-Palestine: Russell Brand tears down Sean Hannity
Comedians, corporate news anchors, it's actually irrelevant who presents the issues. What matters is whether you have a reasoned, considered and coherent argument to present.
Sometimes both sides can defend their positions, because the world is complicated and varying shades of grey.
Sometimes one side just shouts.
BBC Anchor omits a Somewhat Crucial pause in his opener
This is an old one, but I'm pretty sure it's one of the "News Anchor Fail" compilations. So, I guess not a dupe.
Prospect - The Best Low Budget SciFi Shortfilm I've Seen
Nah, even the local stations are all torture all the time. The other day, just when I thought the evening news was going to cover fluffy bunnies, the news anchor threw them into a running lawnmower. Anything to satisfy a countries growing appetite for blood and depression.
Oh well.
Good thing you've got more options ever since you found out you had more than one channel on your "torture luck & sports" TV package. Try'em out, I bet there's basic cable there too.

Reporter mistakes Samuel L Jackson for Laurence Fishburn!

Hawaii Plane Crash Caught On Tape
Jesus fucking christ. GoPro viral marketing has finally penetrated nightly news.
The news anchor's narration is insanely over-dramatic and inane as well.
Reporter Fired For Remarks About Missing Woman On Live TV
I'd like to find the stunned news anchor if you know what I mean. What a babe.
Michael Bay Gets Stage Fright at CES 2014
Wow, he's the most overpaid news anchor in the world, totally incapable of conceiving of or relaying a genuine thought without a teleprompter.
Science Vlogger reads her comments
Also, @shatterdrose, who are all these overweight male news anchors?
Science Vlogger reads her comments
I kinda don't know what to make of this vid. At one point, she makes an appeal to others not to be apathetic to anonymous Internet comments, but I don't see how starting a flame war every time someone makes an inappropriate comment solves the underlying problem.
Plus, I don't see a person who makes those kinds of comments seriously reconsidering them after watching this vid. And if, as she says, those kinds of comments are a small minority of the feedback she receives I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.
She equates it to bullying, but that reminds me of this Sift where the reporter did the same thing after receiving a single email about her weight (a vid which produced a pretty extensive VS debate thread on the topic):

So... yeah. Some people are mean/clueless/crude/outright insulting/sexist on the Internet. She seems to think this is preventing women from keeping vlogs about STEM topics, but doesn't really offer any evidence to support this.
In fact, if her supposition were true wouldn't you see that trend across YouTube? Basically if it were true, YouTube vlogs would be dominated by men since the women are too what... delicate? Afraid of dealing with negative comments? In a way, her hypothesis itself seems kind of insulting to women, suggesting that they wilt in the face of these kinds of comments and just give up.
