![]() Andrew Neil has complained that the corporation's comedy output is too left wing. Neil singled out The Mash Report, BBC Two's purile "satirical late" night show, as "self satisfied, self adulatory, unchallenged Left-wing propaganda. It's hardly balance. Could never happen on a politics show. Except this has become a politics show." The Now Show on Radio 4 is "contrived ideological commentary" and Have I Got News For You "is on its last legs", Neil said. "When it comes to so called comedy the BBC has long given up on balance, on radio and TV. Nobody seems to care. And I don't want Right-wing comedy, whatever that is. I'd just like comedy. Which is in really short supply. On TV and radio," he tweeted. ![]() He dismissed The Mash Report as a "pathetic imitation" of The Daily Show in the US, hosted by Jon Stewart, who "was Left-wing but also intelligent". In his social media spree, Neil also described Channel 4 News as "the broadcasting arm of the Guardian" and railed against Bobby Gillespie, the Primal Scream singer who appeared in a recent edition of Neil's show, This Week. Neil, 69, is regarded by some as the perfect host for Question Time, but the job is expected to go to a younger woman. ![]() https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...hows/#comments I spot no lies? |

Andrew Neil should say that he identifies as a young woman, then not only will he be the best person for the job as Question Time host, but he'll also tick the identity boxes too.

Probably because theres not much funny about mocking lefty ideas like pay equality and peace? Mocking a multi-billion dollar wall that will serve literally no purpose whatsoever or a brexit plan which is doomed to fail is pretty funny though.

Hmm. Well good thing I came along. This thread would have been incredibly unenjoyable without me.

You start getting less idealistic and more realistic when you hit 30 I reckon. And all our young people on here are hurtling towards being the "older generation" SO much faster than they all realise. When you suddenly discover that you didn't know as much as you imagined you did ten years before.

There's just nothing funny to say about Trump anymore, all the "good" homes had already been done to death about two years ago. It's just tiresome when all jokes seem to be TRUMP LOL, surely even lefties can see that.
As for me, I've never been particularly left-leaning. Might be because I was raised with two working parents with a "want something? earn it" attitude, I dunno |

Which current comedians are you thinking of?
Steven Crowder is fairly amusing, and he doesn't make racist jokes. |

it was wondering aloud, what does it have to offer?
Maybe Andrew Neill should try detaching his toupee during This Week? That could be funny |

Crowder for instance, he talks about various news items from a right wing perspective, and makes jokes about it. As for what's that "offering", it's a different viewpoint than most other comedians, and it's fairly funny.
