Russell Brand on MSNBC Mocking Media
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADJhErmJuoQ
Published on Jun 17, 2013
A very funny interview with comedian Russell Brand who is setting out on a
world comedy tour. Buy your tickets by visiting his website.
Comedian Russell Brand terrified anchors on MSNBC's Morning Joe program by
lecturing them about how the media distracts from real news by obsessing
about superficial distractions.
Brand almost immediately put host Mika Brzezinski on the back foot by
describing his tour as an exploration of how Malcolm X, Gandhi, Che
Guevara and Jesus Christ "are significant culturally and how icons are
appropriated and used to designate consciousness and meaning....they're
all people that died for a cause, they're all people whose icons are used
to designate meaning, perhaps not in the manner in which they intended."

Oh dear, those poor presenters. He just killed their ability to be even
slightly professional. Best bit for me was the British presenter
thinking she had Russell covered, and she corpsed too!!!
Has Fox News ever dared to have him on?

I can't read Ubi's tiny mind. However, I have absolutely no respect
for television news these days, no matter who's doing it, and I don't
think any reasoned criticism of it is trolling. I think Brand had the
Morning Joe people dead to rights. We're fed a lot of stupid crap
about Kardashians and so forth when there's all sorts of stuff we
really need to know about. I think we should be supportive of what
Brand said, not putting stupid troll-o-meters on it.

I've never been a fan of Russell Brand and always thought of him as the
spouse (former)of the woman who kissed a girl and liked it. But this
Morning Joe segment showing Brand's quick wit mixed with an astute
understanding of the main-stream media made me realize he is smarter than
he first appears.
And you are right, he was spot on in his humorous criticism of the
superficial news coverage.

before, but I've never seen him take on a serious subject. It was
impressive. He utterly intimidated the three studio hacks.
But his remarks were actually fairly mild, to me. I guess he couldn't
come on too strong as their guest -- he showed some maturity in
pulling back from outright humiliating them.
