Yeah, use blogs written by unqualified blokes off the street who have the insight of tapeworm. A vital part of being a journalist is gathering information, not just writing self-obsessed rubbish on the net for your own amusement.
This means sometimes having a drink (shock horror) and then writing under the influence. You're not a proper journalist if you can't write while hammered occassionally.
Lighten up. It's a JOKE.

Oh Yeah, I would LOVE to triple my taxes and have a 10 hour wait at a hospital because its clogged with every jackass with a headache.
Live in Your garbage if You want. No thanks, I'll live in the best nation in the World. I've lived on your garbage continent, and I love America 100,000 times more.
Europe is jealous because it doesn't pull the weight it used to even 15 years ago.

This is just an example of the dumb asses that support Obama. Of course they want the U.S. to be just as jerk backwards and upside down as their pitiful countries. What better way to accomplish this that with Obama and a democratic congress. Change is here, but it won't be the change that was expected.

Absolute genius - British journalism at its surreal best. Note to Americans - it's a joke, alright ha ha ha ha.
Re: USA
spleenteam
I think you're getting just a bit carried away - bloody murder of people and a pissed up Brummie journalist. Hardly in the same ball park.
As Ruxpin said, it's all a bit of a laugh after the election. Laugh or not, but get a life.
Re: USA
bassybill
This is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. But the reactions of some folks who've commented are just about as amusing in themselves. Humourless bastards.
Adam sounds like a really funny guy and I would consider it an honour to have a few drinks with him and then cut, paste and file until way into the small hours. Heartwarming, I call it. Top man.
Re: USA
ScottIsANoob
Yes, we may not like him, but he is still our president.
Re: USA
MyAslan
You can be dissappointed with the results, and still be proud to be an American. At least we are not flocking to get counseling and threatening to move to Canada because the election did not go the way we wanted. It is STILL a democracy, and we are not going to leave the country we love and many brave soldiers have died for because the majority voted for Obama. He is still our President, and I respect him for that.

what makes me laugh is how many of you are running down this guy bitterly because your country elected obama.
aside of that this video is extremely funny-the guys hilarious, but f* where do some of you leave your sense of humours?? do you just get on you tube to vent bitterness pi off and take up a ball game or something semi useful

Telling people to leave the country demonstrates the real "working together" that we have heard about. Don't worry my little lemming, after the Socialists rip up the Constitution and trample the falg, us REAL Americans will take control of the country back! You fools that voted him in are going to feel like you bought a lemon when you realize he sold you a load of crap.
Re: USA

boomerlife says:
"If you are really that disappointed with the results of the election, you should leave the country and find a place that better fits your needs."
And I say,... F__k you, you commie wuss bitch. I am staying right where I am. Nobody, especially a socialist homosexual like yourself, tells me where I should go. You, on the other hand, are welcome to go to hell.
Re: USA
kenai36
Are you all that stupid, its nothing to do with who is the fucking president, its about a fellow brummie who is pissed and having a good time.
Re: USA
karlaelisa
It's us socialists who are going to see the already shredded constitution put BACK together.
Watch, listen and learn.
Re: USA
AntiLiberal1026
Socialism would be a complete contradiction to what the Constitution stands for. You couldn't "put BACK together" and have socialism you would have to completely change it.
Socialism is in complete contradiction to liberty.
Re: USA
Verlch
Most socialists I know hate the constitution. That is funny, they always take a stand for the constitution to your face, then race taxes, and the central governments powers right behind your back. All in the name of their good, which is evil to most Americans.
Re: USA
cyberfausto
This just reinforces the fact the the media is the back pocket of the democratic party. This guy actually volunteered to work for Obama then wrote a "plagered" story for his readers. Enjoy the next 4 months cause the next 4 years will be our downfall. This idiot is just the begining.
Re: USA
Zulfia07
whoaa people you re crazy. This video has nothing to do with Obama...he cant be held responsible for some volonteer-reporter "after hours " behaviour. CHill pill for all the political-analystis making non existing parallels!
Only moral of the story : if you drink and talk shit, don t hold discussions with a stranger and camera cuz it will cost you your job and reputation.
Re: USA
batvette
A society must never ignore the needs of the unfortunate, the downtrodden. It should be a hand up, not a hand out, but I cannot fathom allowing people to go hungry when others are so full.
The coming years will test us all, rich, poor and wherever we fall in between. Hopefully it will get better, but I think the America we used to know is a memory.
Thank "Beijing Bill" Clinton. China is the dagger in the heart of our industry, and nobody built China like Bill.

Um, dude. You're a hard news journalist, and you never suspected that a drunken rant in front of a camera might come back to get you? Well done mate.
Have a nice flight back home.

Oh Adam, well done on showering the B'ham Mail in glory. You are providing some of your former colleagues with much amusement...
Re: USA
bughead152
Every single day there is another story of how the press has been kissing Obama's ass.
This bloke is a 'hard news journalist' don't you know.
Maybe it has all been ONE GIANT CUT & PASTE (con) JOB.
We must all remember how important our reputation is overseas.
Re: USA

Adam - you're a genius. Funniest thing I've seen in ages. As for the critics, get a life/sense or humour. Or you could just carry on with your sad little corporate lives until the shareholders decide to get shot of you

You only have to look at the colleagues who have come out in support of him to see how well liked he is and how funny they found it.

Re: USA
everthoughtofbusking
Thanks, Adam. And yes, that's barbed with sarcasm. Workmates here in Bham are NOT impressed. While you bask in the 'glory(?)' of studentile pranks, some of us work as professional journalists on a paper we respect. You are pretending you resigned on air to the world. A big fib and you know it. You volunteered for VR two months ago (desperate to leave after previous antics got you in hot water). Funny thing is, do you think you will get a penny of the £10k you boasted you were due to get??

'No, I'm a bit of an idiot.' Too right. How does a moron like this get a job as a journo. Goes to show what a state the British media is in. Goggle-eye magazine and cheeky media must be a pile of turd. Why would I want to know what an idiot thinks of the world.

Hello Everyone.
Thanks for the kind comments, it has meant a lot to get the backing of so many people I respect. I'm currently in hiding at the Gansevoort South hotel in Miami tryin to come to terms what's happened whilst sipping rum and coke at the pool. I guess I'm going to have to face the music when I get back.
Adam Smith, aka Steve Zacharanda
Technically, still a Birmingham Mail reporter.
But definitely editor and founder of Goggle-eye magazine and Cheeky Media

Re: USA

Hey Frank, why don't you take your finger from up your butt and get over yourself? This is a guy who took time off work and paid for his own travel (despite just being made redundant), yet still agreed to work for the company. He's given them more publicity than they could ever dream of.

Right, the thing is, right I've just woke up.
And seen this video, which I don't really remember. I've been told to phone the Birmingham Mail because I am in trouble.
I was off duty, I am on official holiday working at the South Beach Miami Barack Obama campaign where I had just done a 18 hour shift trying to make the world a better place.
Please check every BBC News Outlet and see if I have cut and pasted anything. I have not, it was a joke and should be taken in the spirit it was said.
