Jon Stewart

@@MrMjwoodford These are my observations and opinions, of course. Jon Stewart's primary goal seems, to me, to be humor. True, he usually takes his comedy from news sources and often adds additional information which clarifies, if not corrects, those news sources. What I don't see him doing is researching to the depth Ian Hislop does. As much as humor spices Mr. Hislop's reporting, again to me, news items spice Mr. Stewart's humor. It's the emphasis that raises Ian Hislop in my mind. I've heard the two in conversation online and found Jon Stewart to be unconvincing as a seeker and speaker of truth. As a comedian, he gets my vote.

@@susanelainesanner Hislop's had access to inside info on the scandals of the day for over 35 years, and he's been in regular debate with politicians and other public figures. I admire his ability to see through their BS.

I bought Private Eye subscription today! I am a Texan, and within my thoroughly wonderful but politically nightmarish state and country, I often struggle to find good political figures. Ian is such a breath of fresh air and an absolute fighter for free speech and free press. The UK is lucky to have him.

I'm right in my politics and find much to applaud in the Eye. It's not the preserve of the left.

Fair play to Hislop. He simply tells it like it is. His frank approach and delivery tends to shock those whom are part of the "establishment". There are those whom have used the "system" to try to bring him down, but he ploughs on regardless. And good on him.... I still enjoy HIGNFY

He was bored of it all at birth 😂

That's brilliant...although un-savoury smog is a far more appropriate description for the man.

IDIOT---You are reffering to the PAST---long Long ago. When The little fat one was not afraid of upsetting anyone, and was keen to show it, despite the multitude of appearances in Court.

Totally with your sentiments Tim, it appears that most of the population have been brainwashed into boredom.

I would say rather, satire AND journalism.

So have you died since? Hope you're doing great 👍

*_Private Eye is Yet Another Vehicle of Censorship._* Of course, Private Eye is a private organisation, like The Sun; as such it can of course, choose what it wants to investigate. For example, it can choose not to investigate its chums. Hislop and his organisation, Private Eye, were approached to investigate and address the abuse of powers of office as vehicles of malice outlined in the videos below. In the former, outlined in the documents obtained via Subject Access Requests in the video, and in the pinned comment; and in the latter in the pinned comment. Some years ago, Hislop and Private Eye were presented with conclusive and uncontroversial written evidence of a General Director of the BBC and Controller of Radio 3 lying to a Member of Parliament. They ignored it. The first video opens with documents that can only be described as illustrative of the legacy of Roger Wright's malice. To get the measure of the man, put "Roger Wright Expenses" into search engine. There is more, such as the common knowledge of his abuse of position to bed a cocaine addict. He wasn't alone. The cabal of Stephen Plaistow, Colin Matthews, Oliver Knussen, and Sally Groves all more than pulled their weight to destroy this particular composer. Members of this cabal and their hangers on were overheard at social occasions laughing about driving the composer in question to suicide, and gloating about sabotaging the one life-changing opportunity for this composer and conductor to be springboarded into an international career, far put of their reach. This caused the composer to develop diagnosed PTSD, that had killed his composition gift more than 30 years prior to the diagnosis. But social media has provided exposure of credible videos such as the two below. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/e2RyZKR9hmaUu6s.html ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sF2ErZ1-oHxezIk.html (It is interesting to note that this comment will only post as a response.)

@@medievalladybird394bit less silly and more esoteric than Punch but on similar lines. I’d almost say a satirical magazine is an essential component of a democracy

@@minui8758 Ofcourse it is or should be. "Esoteric" though sounds like I wouldn't like it. Thanks for answering. Have a nice day.

Does it bollocks its what the Liberal Elite want in the press at that given time, have you noticed the same left wing faces have been on our screens for 20 + years, Hislop one of them, the guys are loaded with cash for doing very little, collectively destroying the UK with bullshit Liberalism.

@@cjhards Oh and you were doing quite well up till that.

Hislop only pays lip service to Orwell to keep his veneer of respectability and pay checks. He does not throw a light on the Orwellian dystopia being formed gradually by our masters as does david icke.

I understand that Private Eye is a private organisation, and that, just like its sister publications the Sun and Telegraph, it is quite entitled to its discrimination in its editorial policies and choices, and that it is quite entitled to exhibit bias, in that in can choose not to investigate its chums. But clearly hislop and Private Eye do not hold the higher ground.

You know you have a perfect dictatorship when the idiots in it think its a democracy because they havent managed to shut down one - purely satirical - publication.

@@thiamantithiso2620 if you believe Private Eye is purely satirical it is because you have never read it. The best investigate journalism in the UK

Yeah funny that isn't it, it's because they compress the dynamic range to fvck so that the volume can be pushed to the maximum "in yer face" level......

Unfortunately most vid makers ain't sound engineers, consequently their sound levels are all over the place.

Of course he does not. But could he not have spoken out. What was the mechanism that got Johnson in there? How did it happen that before running for Mayor he got that job. Ian must have known that Johnson’s image would get a boost. Were viewing numbers dropping?
