You all do realise that ‘the news quiz’ is a satirical programme?Please Google 'satirical ’ yourself.
Yes but it only seems to be satirical from one perspective

Only because the other perspective doesn’t like to have fun poked at itself…

Franglais my point being that because the Guardian has an agenda of being anti Brexit it will not be objective and question the facts of the article. I’m not saying the article is a load of bull but even if it was the Guardian wouldn’t question it as it wouldn’t suit their agenda on Brexit. The Guardian is typical of the current left, claims to support the working man yet it’s readership despise the working class, listen to the likes of Jeremy Hardy on the News Quiz, never wastes an opportunity to mock the working class, which is why Labour the historical choice for working class people is struggling for voters and has to resort to bribing the young.If the article had appeared in a more centrist paper then it would hold more credibility
I always thought that Jeremy Hardy and the News Quiz were quite fair minded? They mock everyone!
Never mind where an article appears, if it stands up, then that
s enough isnt it? Even The Sun gets it right sometimes !**Not very often though.
Even the BBC has admitted that programs such as the News Quiz is biased to the left hence why they now have a token person who isn’t on it, Daniel Finkelstein fills the role regularly. As for Jeremy Hardy being fair minded you obviously didn’t here his rant about Calais and that drivers should stop whinging about the minor inconvenience of the illegals it’s just part of the job, would he say that being assaulted as a nurse or teacher was part of the job, I doubt it, still I doubt he has much contact with the working class growing up in Farnham an area well known for it’s social deprivation, yet another champagne socialist
Yep, the Beeb are trying to make the News Quiz more balanced. Maybe not there yet, but it’s something that they’re addressing.
I remember Hardy’s piece on those poor immigrants at Calais. Not a balanced assessment. But then, he’s a comic, not a political analyst. His criticism of fox hunting rarely mentions the chicken’s point of view, after all. He certainly doesn’t reflect my political viewpoint, but he’s normally humorous, and that’s enough for me.Sent from my GT-S7275R using Tapatalk
He is funny as is the news quiz generally but people in the media/arts live in their own wee bubble, insulated from many of the realities of working class life.

Not at all both political sides are as ludicrous as each other at the moment but you wouldn’t think that if you listened to the News Quiz

Agree about people in the media being in their own bubble and somewhat detached from everyday working people, but Hardy has made his allegiance to both Corbyn and Momentum who have plenty about them to satirise yet he doesn’t perhaps as ND said he doesn’t like to hear it from his perspective
