ICTChris Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure if it’s been mentioned but the axing of the Mash Report is apparently being out down to the BBC cracking down on left wing comedy rather than the fact the Mash Report is bad and has tiny viewing figures, with few in the target audience of young ‘uns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Mash is great. The Mash Report is fucking shite. Yeah, they were left wing but they carried it off with an completely minimal level of wit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read about that. The show was indeed pretty pish, but the right-wing papers.....the champions of 'free speech'.....are glorying in the fact that a 'left wing woke comedy' show has been axed. We live in dangerous times. There's no doubt at all that there are forces at work in the media, newspapers and in politics that are determined to quieten all voices that are not right-wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be fair. If there was a right wing version of the Mash Report on BBC, large portions of the left and left wing media would have lost their fucking minds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, given that the Chairman of the BBC is a card-carrying Tory, and Paul Dacre is about to be appointed the head of Ofcom, the blocks are in place for the gradual right-wing takeover of the British media. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Johnson has been very clear about his intent to attack the BBC....and when the right talk about free speech, they don't actually mean 'free speech'. They mean for all other opinions to be censored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Quite happy for her to continue. Most folks I know are sick of the sight of her. Shes suffering from too much exposure, especially after all the recent hullabaloo.Perhaps a bit of truth in that, but come April when she announces the Euros are coming and then the subsequent lifting of restrictions she will be loved [emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're funded by neocons and arch-conservatives like the Tea Party and have did a good job of aiding the realignment of the far right and increasing the general feeling of Islamophobia in the country.

I always thought they were trying to reduce Islamophobia so just quite surprised they could be seen to be doing the opposite, I only was briefly aware of them from Maajid Nawaz who posts a lot of good content on Twitter, some shite too of course. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arun Kundnani wrote a good book called "The Muslims are Coming!" about how even well-meaning liberal attempts at counter-extremism end up fuelling islamophobia. Not to take Yaxley-Lennon at his word either but he claims Qulliam paid him to say they deradicalised him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always interesting how satire gets up the nose of politicians. Almost as if they take themselves too seriously and can't stand to be laughed at. I also like what Peter Cook said when started The Establishment Club in the 1960s: "It's based on all those Weimar era satirical clubs that did so much to prevent the rise of the Nazis" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gentle hint; why don't you spend more time reading and informing yourself, and less time on here posting. I'd call that a win/win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Tonight's BBC Scotland edition of Sportscene published the contemporaneous top tier league table. Instead of listing 1-12, they chose to replace "1" with "C". Incontrovertible evidence, if any was needed, that the BBC are auntie establishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
