These clips from the BBC satirical show Broken News reflect common criticisms leveled at television news: that it is perennially obsessed with the present and lacks any genuine engagement with the past. Broken News switches abruptly between different news formats, as if a bored and easily distracted viewer has been given the remote control. Based upon these (exaggerated and comical) examples, we might be persuaded that TV is truly a medium without a memory.
