Over on Biased BBC there are some pro-BBC types, who may or not be paid by the BBC in some way, who love to attack the other commenters on the blog but rarely produce much in the way of evidence. There's one particular one who goes by the handle 'Scott' who gets a lot of stick for picking on low-hanging fruit in discussions in an attempt to derail the discussion.

Let’s play a game: I’ll name a left wing comedian who gets regular airtime on the BBC to air his/her left of centre views. You then name a right wing comedian who gets similar airtime.Scott never responded, here's how that thread petered out

Your first example of a right wing comedian given a similar amount of airtime to Mark Steel is…?
So come on Scott or any other BBC defender, let's play comedian political affiliations. I've started with Mark Steel, who's your first right-of-centre political comedian? Just one needed... If you do find one, I've got a long list of left-wing political comedians to choose from for my number two (allusion intended). Have you?
