''CNNNN'' (''Chaser NoN-stop News Network'') is a Logie Award winning Australian television program, satirising American news channels CNN and Fox News. It was produced and hosted by comedy team The Chaser. ''CNNNNs slogan was "We Report, You Believe.", a parody of Fox News' slogan "We Report, You Decide." In April 2004, ''CNNNN'' won a Logie Award for Most Outstanding Comedy Program, an award that was shared with ''Kath & Kim''. ==Overview== The program was presented as a "live" feed from a fictional 24-hour news channel, anchored by Craig Reucassel and Chris Taylor. Each episode had a theme which carried through the episode, examples (from the DVD) included: *Lunchgate: A businessman accidentally leaves his lunch at home and is pursued by police and the media in an O.J. Simpson style chase and becomes a suspected terrorist. *Cadman for PM: ''CNNNN'' beats up a comment by minor Australian politician Alan Cadman as a leadership challenge against Prime Minister John Howard. *Shush For Bush: US President George W. Bush is visiting Australia for 20 hours, and is believed to want to sleep the entire visit. ''CNNNN'' exhorts Australia to be quiet so the President can sleep properly. *Animal Farm: The Chaser "reality show" ''Animal Farm'' is a send-up of ''Big Brother''. ''CNNNN'' covers the controversy when one of the contestants dies, but is not removed from the house. *Packer Health Crisis: Live updates on the health of Australian businessman Kerry Packer. *Tilt Australia: ''CNNNN'' aims to reduce the water-shortage crisis in inland Australia by tilting the entire continent to drain the water from the Eastern seaboard. Radio announcer Alan Jones was duped by the Chaser team live on air for believing this concept. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CNNNN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
