A short film featured on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe on the way journalism evolved from the dawn of TV to today from guest director Adam Curtis (The Power Of Nightmares).
Brooker also looks into 24 hour news channels and how they can be hilariously bad at times.

It didn't mention the likes of Paxmen though, which does tend to tell you the facts..generally.
Sadly, Charlie does hit the nail on the head with most of it though. Panic? No, we happen to like queuing in an orderly manner. See? We even brought a flask of tea.
