There have been a number of satirical shows with left leanings such as Bremner Bird and Fortune, The last leg and have I got news for you etc. Whatever your political leanings these shows main criteria was to be funny. However The Mash report's priority is clearly to preach a brand of identity politics which will clearly alienate many a viewer. It is possible to have a satirical show which mocks all sides such as Spitting Image but that is not their game. They want to educate you inti their way of thinking which takes all the humour out of the show. Doubtless the identity politics brigade will love it because it reinforces their confirmation bias. But the BBC should be ashamed of this.
