Rap News :: Juice Media. News commentary done as rap. Published online out of Australia and generally done from a left-wing/anarchistic perspective. Anchored by the character Robert Foster and featuring several other characters who are personifications of various things that are wrong in the world: General Baxter (the American war machine), Terrance Moonseed (conspiracy theories), Ken Oathcarn (Australian right-wingers), and Bill De Berg (global capitalism).The show (in)famously featured Jullian Assange don a mullet and sing a lyrically altered rendition of an Australian golden oldie as part of his campaign for the Australian senate. The skit was a joke, but was portrayed by several media outlets as a for-real campaign ad.

Not Helping Your Case: Going to a "peace raps" with explosives strapped to his chest while brandishing an RPG launcher and a submachine gun most certainly did not back the Hamas spokesman's claims of readiness to talk peace.

Big Bad
 Rap News (Website) / int_970c790a
comment
Big Bad: William De Berg (often shortened to Bill De Berg) basically fills this role for the series, being the representative of the New World Order and has been shown to act as a Greater-Scope Villain, being shown to control many different parties from the Federal Court to the FCC and even at one point refers to a group consisting of a tabloid journalist, a Presidential candidate and a Prime Minister as his faithful minions. There is also the fact that as noted below under Downer Ending the series ends with him taking over as host.
