Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped got cut, going to see if the last example fits better under An Aesop.


* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** His analysis of the Media's coverage of the G20 protests and how in spite of all the coverage of protestors and the possibility of violence, they almost completely missed a case of Police brutality.
** Not to mention pouring scorn on some news programs that tried to present the chaos in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake as a non-stop culture of looting, but also as something inevitable due to Haiti's "[[AngryBlackMan violent history]]".
** Also his disgust at the circle jerk surrounding the death of Reality TV star Jade Goody, including his own role of commenting on the commenting.
** Following a school shooting in Germany, Charlie Brooker intersects an interview with a forensic psychiatrist, in which he disperses some advice in how the media should deal with such an event, with footage of news broadcasts doing the exact opposite. The dour music and the bitter, resigned tone of Charlie Brooker's voice make it abundantly clear that he is ''not amused''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezlFNTGWv4 Here's the clip]].
