Fair point or the rantings of a cynical old loon? Seems everyone agrees that all forms of media are biased but puzzlingly people can't agree on which way.

Without getting into Andrew Neil, that's poor reporting from the Telegraph, who don't mention his tweet about Carole Cadwalladr:

To me Neil comes across as a bitter, entitled, egotistical oaf, of course others can have different views. And anyway, the Conservative party have put on more than enough right-wing comedy over the last couple of years.

Personally I think that shows such as 'Have I got News For You' and 'Mock the Week' have become rather tedious with their political ranting but then again 'Spitting Image' was no saint in this area when it was broadcast back in the day.

To be fair to the Torygraph they do mention that tweet and what he said about her in the article.

Satire by its nature is left wing. This is partly due to the fact that TW3, the birth of satire was created under a Tory government

Satire by nature is anti-establishment, which means it is left wing in this country.

But the establishment is now run by the left at every level, including the police, universities and schools, and the civil service. So that can’t be true

Beyond the Fringe (Miller, Moore, Cook and Bennett) led to the birth of TW3.

Satire is just a middle class word for sarcasm.

Watch the Mash Report and you'll be wondering how that is classed as "hilarious" - I've never seen such a left-leaning programme. Awful.

Did you actually read the article?

“The presenter's thoughts on BBC comedy came in a flurry of late night tweets in which he also referred to Carole Cadwalladr, the journalist who exposed the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, as the "mad cat woman" "Karol Kodswallop".

He later deleted it, and a BBC spokesman said Neil had recognised it was "inappropriate".

Whilst I agree that, from what little I have seen of it, 'The Mash Report' is very dull I would have to blame the right wing for that. When almost everything you say is riddled with error and every move you make is a mistake then your detractors find it too easy to get cheap laughs and get lazy in their satire. However, there is a very ugly underneath that only the darkest of humour reaches into. It is there that you will have to endure hardship to go and be prepared to have every assumption challenged. And it is also the meeting point of comedy and tragedy.

I am surpised anyone takes any notice of what Andrew Neil has published in the Telegraphy given his job & who his employers are.
