Latest from the Newsbreakers

While I scribble off screen, check out the latest couple of videos from the Newsbreakers...


In Buffalo, a delusional print reporter named Jiminy Diz crashes a WKBW live shot to protest the station's uncredited recycling of HIS headlines. Nice suit...


Speaking of suits, our favorite nearly-naked protester popped up in the backdrop ofg a Boston Marathon live shot and got a wee roughed up for his troubles. Someone get that man an overcoat.

I've covered this group of lunatics before. While they may look like escapees from the local asylum, they're actually a nonpartisan media watchdog group using parody to get their message of media-reform across to the public. At first I was critical, but their salient points and hilarious videos are wearing down my resolve. Plus, their new blog is quicky turning into a repository of serious thought on the media and its many warts. These Newsbreakers aren't COMPLETELY nutty. Well, maybe that guy in the Invisible Suit...
