Seen this so many times but totally missed that. Morris's comedy is so layered. I was totally focused on his portrayal of how the media use their influence to make the news rather than report it. It's such a swipe at them and is a spot on account of how the industrial machine feeds itself.

Hilarious and cleverly made, yes, but not really "ahead of their time". Chris Morris was just parodying Jeremy Paxman who'd been around since the 80s behaving just like this, and news media have always been a political tool for misinformation and distortion of events. It honestly baffles me how people now think all this is new, it isn't, it's depressingly old. All that's different now is the internet is host to far more of it. It seems like more people than ever before behave like they've been at the pub all night believing every word of some drunk having a rant - the modern equivalent being going on the internet and "doing research". Also, it sounds like everyone's only just learned the word "narrative" because it's all anyone ever repeats now. "Mainstream media!" "narrative!" "agenda!" It makes people sound like just another form of sheep, not thinking for themselves but just repeating what they've heard others say online.

Today, looking towards Eastern Europe having had every news and media outlet report on it for weeks on end, challenging one side of the argument with the half-truths of the other side, war as an inevitable outcome, I wonder if diplomacy in Ukraine would have stood a better chance if the News had been less hungry for.. "War!"..?? This programme was truly prophetic. The reality we live in is grim.
