Meet Peppermint Gomez

[Clive]

Whether or not many American viewers have had a chance to tune in, Al Jazeera's English-language channel has got off to a surprisingly good start. I don't watch it every day, but from what I've seen so far, the journalism is solid and sober, and the coverage of Third World issues has been refreshingly un-condescending. (To put it bluntly, you don't often see brown people talking about other brown people on TV.) Samantha Bee, on the other hand, is as mad as hell and can't take it any more. If you haven't yet caught the Daily Show reporter's mischief-making visit to the newsroom, you're in for a treat. The funniest thing I've seen in months. [Via 'Aqoul]
