Comment on Private Eye magazine

HipPriest@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Easily my favourite section is the bit about journalism itself. Very eye opening (no pun intended)

There was a clip from Ian Hislop and 2 others from the Eye attending a select committee or something advising politicians about how they could handle disclosing gifts better, and there's a funny/excruciating bit where one of the Eye journalists responds to an argument saying "they're beneficial to the constituancy" by reading out to the politician what 'gifts' he has claimed: "football tickets... Opera... Stay in a hotel..." until the chairman or whatever intervenes. Private Eye don't fuck about.
