A clip compilation documentary looking at various fails involving news channels around the world. What could go wrong, might you ask? I love similar compilations on Youtube and was looking forward to more of the same. Except this isn't the same. Expect around 20 clips spread out into a two hour documentary with an hour of adverts for the TV transmission. Expect to have the same clips repeated over and over again, followed by random commentators describing WHAT JUST HAPPENED. Even worse, more than one commentator makes the same comment, just in different words. A woman falls out of a canoe: "she falls into the water", "faceplant into the water", "she's gone", ad infinitum. At least the newspeople taking part have more of a reason to be there, but the so-called young comedians and the like have no contribution to make whatsoever. This turns an appealing subject into a spoon-fed mess, and you'd be much better off watching a Youtube compilation without all of the padding in between.
