The Bizarre History of the Media: Gossip, News & Emojis | The Unbelievable Truth

Don't believe everything you read in the papers... especially if it's being read by this lot! 📰📺📱 Welcome to another highly articulate (yet completely absurd) compilation of The Unbelievable Truth. In this episode, host David Mitchell and a panel of brilliantly cynical comedians take aim at the bizarre world of Communication, Media, and Language. Watch as they attempt to smuggle absolutely genuine—but completely ridiculous—facts about Journalism, The Internet, Dictionaries, and Emojis past their highly suspicious opponents. If you thought modern media was full of rumours and fake news, just wait until you hear the hidden history of broadcasting and advertising. Expect elite-level pedantry, spectacular linguistic blunders, and David Mitchell getting extraordinarily angry about how people communicate. Which bizarre media fact actually turned out to be true?
