It’s interesting how we currently see politics in the
liberal media. We see Bill Clinton as liberal loving democrat and an ambassador
of freedom; making crazy decisions because he can. We see the evil Republican
Party; always keen to make money and report to the higher power of the media
networks and oil cartoons. But what of it here in Blighty? Well, our own
parodies are yet to take off. We get the occasional fat politician drawn in the
paper when a new motion is proposed. Our
critics tread carefully for fear of being sued; as our freedom of expression isn’t
as free as that of the USA. Any harsh criticism can instantly be complained
about; and ultimately fired from your programme or publication. Ultimately,
comedy can be too cruel if you say the wrong thing or get the one person who
misinterprets the whole joke. So be careful what you say out there, and think
before you speak. It might just save your job…
