I wish I'd known someone like you at university.
I have no idea what Newswipe is (or indeed, who Charlie Brooker is) but using clips of it has got to be better than showing clips from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a uni presentation (I got outvoted by the people I did it with; I hate Buffy and even worse, it was a presentation advocating its inclusion as something to be studied on a course about horror. Everyone else chose actual horror films. We did Buffy. I think I was probably cringing throughout the entire presentation).
