Big Media Bias Parody

I have nothing against offline journalists in general, but too many of them hold a burning bias against online media. I don’t blame them; they naturally want to protect their own business model. It’s just self-preservation. Kevin Nalts takes that bias to its logical extreme in this parody.
Kidding aside, this actually happened to me recently. A show I was on actually downplayed Happy Slip as a YouTube star, a downplay to which I violently objected. They even edited my words to make some washed-up TV actress look like a true-blue Internet star, making the Web look like nothing more than a stepping stone to minor TV fame at best. Next time you do a TV interview, bring a friend to record it. You never know how they’ll edit your words.
Which washed-up TV actress? Oprah?
No, some Filipina TV “actress” you’ve never heard of.
