Mitchell and Webb were, I thought some of the best comedy of recent years. Then they turned into the same tiresome Corbyn-shitters as everyone else, and now I don't feel the same about them, at all.

'This narrative of bias has then been bought into by credulous factions on the left (though, of course, they accuse it of the opposite bias), who somehow haven’t twigged what carnage would be wreaked on their political hopes...
if the media battlefield were surrendered to the Murdochs and Rothermeres.'

Oh David.

Where to start with this?
Tell you what, you tell me this isn't a BBC smear against the left, and we'll take it from there.

"I, David Mitchell, believe this is not a BBC smear against the left."

Let's hear you say it, like those corrupt US tobacco guys saying they 'believed' smoking doesn't cause cancer.

Let's hear you say it for the record.
@RealDMitchell: Any chance of a response? You've made a ridiculous and patently false comment: are you going to defend it? Or is twitter just another advertising platform for your content?

Any chance of you taking responsibility for this offensive garbage?

This might be a tad on the long side, for which apologies.

The Great Smearing War of 2015 - present is one of the most successful political campaigns of recent times.
Built out of almost nothing, it grew into a vast conspiracy against the truth, in which there was a race to the bottom as to who could make the most outrageous accusation.
This race was won, handily I’d say, by the Telegraph’s Simon Heffer, who infamously commented on an LBC show that Corbyn ‘wants to open the gates of Auschwitz’.
