The 9pm Edict #17
Tonight we\u2019re doing what every other media outlet does. A look back at the year. The big stories. From earthquakes and cyclones to royal weddings and the descent of TV stars into madness. All through the eyes of the media and, since it\u2019s 2011, through the eyes of fucking Twitter.
In this episode you\u2019ll hear what I think about the Sydney Morning Herald\u2019s review of 2011 and Charlie Brooker and his drama series Black Mirror.
I also refer to Charlie Brooker\u2019s glorious explanation of the grammar of a TV news story. Watch it.
And as I mentioned on Twitter, this episode has been recorded in bursts of one-take recordings at the C Bar, also known as the Chamberlain Hotel in Haymarket, Sydney. The arseholes closed early. I refer to that, and I shall follow it up next episode.
