EU and the financial issues surrounding bailouts

TheMercenary · 12-19-2010, 12:36 PM

This was a really good bit sent to me via email. I thought I would share it as it shows just how complicated the bailout situation has become.

Enjoy.

Those two do a short skit on that show every Thursday night. Good stuff.

I didn't know it was a regular show. I thought it was very good. Do you know of the link to the show? What's it called?

Har! Reminds me a little of the Bird and Fortune sketches over here.

Usually done as if a news anchor is interviewing a political/military/financial heavyweight. The interviewee is usually named 'George Parr'.

Here's one they did on 'How the markets really work.'

I'm trying to find one with the roles reversed as they swap about between them... can't seem to find any on youtube though

Ha! Found one.

This is probably one of their best. From few years ago. Looking at the changes to criminal justice. The legislation and legal stuff they refer to are genuine.

Heya Merc,
The whole show is called The 7.30 Report, it is a current affairs show on the A(ustralian) B(roadcasting) C(ommision).

The show can be found at http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/ where you can watch the stories. Clarke and Dawe are at http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/clarkedawe.htm.

I recommend the whole show, it deals with big issues with a broad viewpoint, good understanding and something resembling journalistic integrity. Give it a try.

We've secretly replaced Merc's neo-con right-wing shock jocks with pinko socialist-biased liberal media. Lets see if he notices.

That would be pretty hard to do,MSNBC, the Huffington Post, and NYT would never go for it.n
