The difference between US and UK news coverage on ebola
 

I cant get past the fact that he himself isnt funny

Yes Easy for him to show the Edits
and the 2 nations no alike.


Nothing Fecking New

look past it, look past it

The TVNews Edits
help him make it easy

Also America is a huge nation with so many more news channels even in one state that the whole of the UK

This is a good clip and it's something I've always suspected about in the US but man I just don't find Russell Howard funny at all.

He reminds me of the kid in school who was never unpopular but not popular either so breezes through school not having a single story whatsoever then decides to try and act the clown in college cos he realises his dick actually works and he fancies this media studies student called Kim and the only way he can get her to notice him is by making jokes and pulling funny smiley faces afterwards.

How specific...

Get what you mean though - he's the little kid who hung around with the cool kids desperately trying to make them laugh.

I think I must be the only person in the world who likes Russell Howard and finds him funny. How he ever gets work is beyond me.

The difference between the two news reports is typical of the way the UK and the UK approach virtually everything.

I tried so hard to make her laugh :bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:

assss-nesss

I like Russell Howard. He's not exactly the best comedian on the planet. But he's still good, makes me laugh at times.

The Ebloa thing is just a funny highlight of how the US media and UK media are two polar opposites. Although UK media can be just over the top with some things.

i love russell howard so much

Fox News being as racist and as ignorant as ever it seems

Its not just them.
Just that Host is the Best to give the
Keep them out anger

:joker: I love Russel Howard, he always makes me laugh.

In fairness, the UK media is prone to fearmongering too, just hasn't happened as much this time.

Indeed, they were pretty ridiculous with H1N1 and borderline hysterical with the measles "epidemic" in Wales last year, essentially making measles out to be some sort of apocalyptic plague when the reality is, in the vast majority of cases, it's less symptomatic than Chicken pox and clears faster.

Then again, lately the US have managed to be pretty hysterical about actual chicken pox :joker:.

:clap1:

Let's not forget the doomsday predictions every time we have a little bit of snow.

Yeah plus I'm sure with the correct editing and selecting of clips it wouldn't be that hard to present this story the other way round, there has been plenty of Ebola scaremongering imo

Thing is with viruses they are really unpredictable and as flu keeps mutating antiviral meds just can't keep up. Measles is pretty bad for pregnant women and chickenpox can make men sterile so there's a worry there.
Ebola on a small island?... well, that just doesn't bear thinking about.

Playing down some issues to prevent panic and raising awareness of things that are within our control are sensible imo.

if all else fails have a go at the yanks, pathetic

im amazed howard has been allowed to impersonate an american black man on the uber liberal bbc....? or do the corrupt waste of space bbc only choose when such matters become a news story

the bbc is absolute ****, a total waste of billions of tax payers money, the worst news channel on tv a total laughing stock, the entire station has produces mostly garbage shows by an outdated formula for decades.

Yes, it's just comedy guys. They tend to exaggerate things. :pat:

Not as much as America though. :fan:

Payback for Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

Oh, and Stewie in Family Guy, so technically we still owe them one.
