Default Left Wing TV

I was watching Spitting Image from 1987 on You Tube yesterday I watched this show as a kid and didn’t realise how Left Wing it was.
Here is an example.

Here is a clip of the 1970's film Caberet portraying the rise of the Nazis
Now here is an episode of Spitting Image.

So? Are you about to advocate banning Spitting Image and other 'left wing' broadcasting?

No I would like the BBC and C4 changed into Right Wing broadcasting organisations with Spitting Image brought back.

And I would like both the BBC and Channel 4 to be independent of government and choose for themselves what to broadcast. Especially in the case of the BBC - who should respond to licence fee payers, not the government.

The government meddling in broadcasting to such an extent would make the UK no better than China.

The BBC has been a left wing orgaisation since the 1960's.
The independent broadcasters are left wing so it is natural that we need a Right Wing counter balance.

Why? Why not just let people take the information on its merits? It's not like we have a shortage of "right-wing" people in this country.

The only rightwing broadcaster I know is Fox News and it is terrible for news and entertainment. I disagree with alot of the view of the BBC but at least it is a pretty good general for entertainment and usually news.

We only get the information the Left Wing media allow us.
