Some news media is hilariously bad.
However, humourists themselves have often turned to writing humorous songs about the media; or in the case of the first two songs here, actually satirising the media in a very savage way.
THE DAILY MAIL
OK here’s a funny question!
If you’re from a country other than the UK, what’s the closest equivalent to the Dail Mail in your country?
I’m guessing Fox News for Americans?
Oh, and on that note: a very brave song about a much-maligned news channel.
Or fake news?
Depends on who you ask, really!
FOX NEWS
THE BBC
Oh dear…
Nice song, but I’m sorry:
True patriotism is about loyalty to the average citizen.
Not the dodgy political and media establishment.
You will find some people in the UK who have a misguided nostalgia for the BBC.
It’s a habit that’s hard to shake.
Got any more ideas? Leave your thoughts below. YouTube… or hell, any other video site at all!
