    Default People in the media who just don't give a smurf.

    In the good sense. In the sense that if someone is being a prick, they will call them out and beat them with their own iness. England's Paxman and America's Colbert are great examples, because they are people that see through tit like they've got a bloody superpower.

    In that vein, I came across a video that had me writhing in bliss for hours. Before I link it, and before you watch it which you damn well better, I want to point out that Matt Baker is a stellar bloke. Pretty much everything he does is entertaining, and just look at his wonderful face. He was once the only good presenter on kid's show Blue Peter, and accepted being beaten with a branch just so the kids could have someone to look up to. If Paxman said such a thing, I would cum the standard amount. However, when Sir Nicealot Baker comes out with it, that hateful glee is compounded to massive levels. I actually had to go to a nearby sperm bank to top myself up again, as I was starting to resemble an ecstatic walnut.

    You don't even need context to appreciate this.

    Anyway, enough Baker worship, I want you all to tell me about other excellent moments of interviewers and the like just coming straight out and verbally, physically and/or spiritually kicking some prick in the balls. Also, if you could find a video of it, I would appreciate it a lot because this sort of stuff pretty much sustains me.

    One of many of my favorite Colbert moments:

    Pretty much any political interview by Jon Stewart is brilliant. But I loved when he went on Fox News and just got really really angry and called them on their bulltrout. His comedic take down of Fox is great, but he just went on this amazing offensive right on their own program. Colbert is a genius and hilarious, but I don't think he comes close to Jon Stewart in terms of just nailing people on their bulltrout.

    I also loved Anderson Cooper's career defining moment, when he got hella pissed at the Lousiana senetor for her lame political speak during the Katrina crisis: Anderson Cooper biatching out Mary Landrieu over Katrina - YouTube

    And I have to admit, I was a fan of Kanye's George-Bush-Hates-Black-People moment.

    My favorite was Meyer's face after he said that.

    I've always had a lot of respect for Jon... and for taking Fox's interview from them and making it his own, I found that pretty amazing.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    Anderson Cooper was once the only thing that kept any of my faith in civic minded journalism alive.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
