And the BBC in general....

New Director General starts today. Media chat about a clampdown on the left wing bias in the comedy output. But I wonder if they will address the right wing bias in their news and current affairs output.

I must admit, as a centre lefty type, I find the left wing comedy of the BBC to be pretty excruciating. Nish Kumar, the Mash Report and that lazy prick Frankie Boyle are just dreadful.

Frankie Boyle, the bloke who is now offended by everything but used to make taking the **** out of the disabled child, Harvey Price, a big part of his act. What a guy.

The Harvey Price thing was a one liner, hardly a "big part of his act"

I'm embarrassed to say that I used to love watching Frankie Boyle.  I've changed my outlook on life now and just don't find his nasty material funny at all.

As for left-wing comedy, it's been taken over by NPC's who've been programmed to seek legimitacy from the establishment IMO.  There's only so many times you can slag Donald Trump before it loses it's appeal.

I think the bias toward the left has become so pronounced these days that even the slightest hint of moving toward fairness is often seen as right wing bias.  This is why the Daily Mail is always labelled as right wing when it's clearly not.. it's just a sensationalist rag.

No right wing comedians? Boris, Farage, Hatie Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson... need I go on?

They aren’t comedians though.

As long as he keeps that god awful Janey Godley off the TV.

The most awful, excruciating, unfunny cretin in Scotland.

Had the misfortune of seeing her at a function many many years ago and she was shite then.

Tam Cowan "Hud ma pint"

Cowan is like Richard Pryor and Billy Connolly rolled into one when played alongside Godley.

Women in my work think she is hilarious!

The female Frankie Boyle.

I hold her in much lower regard than even that.
