The news – do you ever switch it on and feel like you’ve stumbled into a soap opera in its 3000th episode?
You’re not alone.
Our favourite misery guts, Charlie Brooker, is often confounded by the news on TV: the characters, plotlines, who’s friends with who, which country isn’t talking to another because of something they said back in 1956, why one week is all about famine, the next about conservation.
So, News Wipe is here to expose the inner workings of news media and reveal the way it’s presented to us, and why.
Not only that, Charlie Brooker also says of the show: "This is new territory for me: I'm no current affairs expert. So it's also about me trying to make sense of a bewildering and often bloody stupid world."
Sounds like one to watch to us.
Find out when News Wipe is next on TV.
