| Newswipe | comment |
Charlie Brooker's Newswipe is a spinoff of Screenwipe, Charlie Brooker's television-review show, focusing particularly on news reporting. It's especially interesting because Charlie Brooker admits in the first episode that he hardly knows anything about current events, the news, or anything else, and was hoping to learn more as part of this show. This gives the show more accessibility than most shows about the news, or indeed the news itself.The show - while still funny - is usually quite bleak in tone, and not for the faint of heart in some instances. It exposes many of the lies and sensationalism inherent in much of the news reporting. Altogether educational but also disheartening at times.The show also usually features a guest reporter supplying his view (it's his view) on news reporting and politics. | |

My Friends... and Zoidberg: Charlie Brooker described the telethon for Haiti's post-earthquake aid as "a collection of all the musicians you would ever want to listen to... and Sting." | |

Artifact Title | |
| Newswipe / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The title of Brooker's previous series, Screenwipe, refers to an editing technique, whereas the title of Newswipe is just nonsensically derived from it. | |

Human-Interest Story | |
| Newswipe / int_3a742e63 | comment |
Human-Interest Story: Brooker puts up the death of Jade Goody as the most disgusting version of this, especially for the hypocrisy of the media demonising her for the racism row on Celebrity Big Brother, then turning round to make her a saint when she was dying of cancer a few months later. | |

Credits Gag: At the end of each show, you see Charlie Brooker messing around in some way in the fake news set while the credits scroll. Funny Background Event: In one episode London gets blown up while Brooker doesn't seem to notice. | |

Motor Mouth | |
| Newswipe / int_82518cf7 | comment |
Motor Mouth: When reporting on the 2013 horse meat scandal he mused, "I don't know about you but when I ate a burger I used to think 'mmm what a tasty compacted disc of minced tissue scrapings blasted off a cow carcass with a high-pressure hose in a fly-blown abattoir ringing with the incoherent agonized howls of simple beasts dying from a single bolt-gun shot to the forehead' but now it turns out it might not have been as appetising as that" without stopping for a single breath. | |

| Newswipe / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: The extremely crude censorship of one of the first guests on the show is a giant "fuck you" to the BBC and litigious lawsuits in general. "Still if Dappy gets annoyed at getting called "vile" in a text message, imagine how disrespected he'd feel if we put his photo on the screen and called him a: Two-foot, prancing, mosquito-voiced, little tit-a-ma-boob in a baby's hat, and a nincompoop, and a twerp, and a twit, and an oaf, and a git, and a..." | |

Double Vision: In a spoof of how rolling news presents breaking stories, Charlie acts as both studio anchorman and on-the-scene reporter filling time as they wait for a third Charlie to return home and continue the show. | |
