http://www.cnnnn.com/

are there any shows around the place which are similar?

In chicago, we have The Onion, a spoof newspaper.

http://www.theonion.com/

Today's top 2 head lines:

"Busch Seeks UN Support for 'US Does Whatever It Wants' Plan"
and
"Toll Booth Girl Hit On Quickly"

It's often very good - and was able to keep a quick wit regarding 9/11 without being disrespectful. Headlines included "Angry God Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule."

In britain we have The Sun. It's not a spoof, its just stupid

The Onion is great. Two of my recent favorites were:
U.S. Dept of Retro warns: We may be running out of past
And
Bush won't stop asking Cheney if we can invade yet

My all time favorite "Onion" story was, "Hijackers Surprised to Wake Up in Hell."
