Sandi Toksvig is the left-wing lesbian presenter of the News Quiz and if
she only had one leg as well who knows how far up the BBC career ladder
she would reach!!
This is the lady who announced to the twittering panelists on the
lunchtime show " It is the Tories who have put the 'n' into cuts."
Her programme used to be funny before she took over now it is just an
excuse for various left-wing comedians to have a rant agianst the
Conservatives.
WEll at least Radio 4's commissioning editor Caroline Raphael reportedly
acknowledges the problem of left-wing bias in comedy shows. She is
quoted as saying " It is difficult to find comedians from the right". I
don't think she is looking very hard - how about Jim Davidson for
starters I'm sure he would love to make a comeback.
Another programme on Radio 4 - 'Jeremy Hardy speaks to the Nation' has
been the subject of various complaints to Roger Bolton the presenter of
Feedback. This show is meant to be funny but is just full of Hardy's
left-wing anti Tory rants.
Of course Hardy is a regular on Toksvig's News Quiz. These shows are
meant to be FUNNY but they don't contain jokes all they contain is VIEWS
as Caroline Raphael went on to say "Producers spend alot of time in
clubs looking for people with a variety of views." Why views we want
people who tell funny JOKES.
The bais in the BBC is ingrained and INSTITUTIONAL.
