Hignfy - Bbc Director-General To Face Dcms Committee

[naomi24]

The BBC is facing fresh scrutiny over impartiality and anti-Tory bias after Boris Johnson and Liz Truss were subjected to a relentless barrage of highly personal attacks on primetime TV.Have I Got News For You.

//Last night, Tory MP Sir John Hayes said: 'Clever satire requires clever people, but TV comedy has fallen a long way. All the wit of great British satire has been replaced with snide sneers and crass cruelty. What you saw on Friday was a series of spiteful insults.'

Peer and former Labour MP Ian Austin said: 'Suggesting one of the most powerful women in the country is hysterical and in need of a padded cell is blatant sexism. Satire is incredibly important – but I thought tropes about women being mad were a thing of the past. Clearly not.'//

Strangely enough I can't see that the BBC is carrying this story - perhaps they're just slow off the mark with this one - but has this programme, having become all too 'clever' for its own good, passed its sell-by date?

We largely elect people we know nowt about to be our MPs. When they are our representatives, we finally get to know who they are and their talents.
Where things have gone wrong recently, is the people we inadvertently elect turn out to be dolts, but no one notices and they get elevated to high office, way beyond their capabilities, through loyalty/sycophancy, not talent and ability.
