Definately seems to be the game they are playing.

Also they have another agenda.

It's airing on the BBC, which is a propaganda channel in it's own right.

Great short, love Charlie brooker too, hope newswipe is coming back. Have also been watching black mirrors by brooker on Netflix, very interesting following the same thought process as the short in this thread

Curtis is always worth a listen - his immediate post 9/11 work on the myth of al-Quaeda was important. I watched his piece on Brooker with interest, and he is on to something in the way that parties now refute political attacks. It does seem that instead of offering a relevant response to an attack, a party will simply refute the allegation with a response designed to confuse the voter, not to win the argument. And it has got worse in the last few years. But whether or not this points to a conspiracy played on the voter by the political class across the democratic world, as Curtis implies, I'm not sure.
