FKN ERAS
The catalogued window of FKN Newz, segmented into four eras. Each page has its own synthesis, top themes, and a chronological thumbnail gallery of every episode in that era.
2006 · Year One · 53 eps
GENESIS
The voice is forming. Most 2006 episodes are unbranded — 'newz', 'newz 1', VYDi crossposts, Artic Monkeys spoofs. By September the FKN Newz tag is locked in and the 9/11 Anniversary Special crystallises the format.
2007 · Peak Bush, Peak Iraq · 52 eps
IRAQ SURGE
The format is locked. Episodes adopt all-caps slogans: WORLD WAR 5, FASCIST WORLD LEADERS, SEX DRUGS & ROCK N ROLL. The Iraq surge and Bush's late years dominate.
2008 · Banksters, Bailouts, Obama · 71 eps
CRISIS
The financial crisis arrives mid-year and the show finds its second great subject. Bailouts, debt, NWO DELAYED TILL 2012, the Obama campaign, Sarah Palin, the Mumbai attacks — the catalogue's densest, most-cited year.
2009 · Obama Honeymoon, Davos, G20 · 15 eps
HOPIUM
Short, sharp, and final (for the catalogued window). 17 episodes from January to April: Obama inauguration, the Davos meeting, Gaza, US troops 'harvesting hopium' in Afghanistan, the G20 in London, and a closing salvo titled WAR PEACE FREEDOM IGNORANCE SLAVERY.
