Brilliant! What Ricky Gervais did to Hollywood, Brooker does to the MSM. Nice to see some responsible commentary exposing Big Media for the businesses they are.

“How TV ruined your life” was really funny too.

SkyNews …

The Japanese did not have 22000 of their people die and had billions of dollars in property damaged for your entertainment.

This is great! Max Keiser on RT (The Keiser Report) Dedicates a bit of the show to Japan claiming during the construction 40 years ago, engineers walked away because it wasn’t being built properly. Japan also comes up again with an interview Joe Weisenthal. Actually Japan is mentioned here and there typical of Max’s ADHD style of broadcasting. The best part is when he gets so worked up his co-host tells him to settle down because he’s behaving like Gaddafi….classic Max!

I love his show; ADHD style or not, if you look at the people who appear on it – from Peter Schiff and William K. Black to Michael Hudson and Steve Keen, everyone respects what Max Keiser is doing.
