Right Wing White Talk Channels "Delusional"

For those LGBTQIA people who follow the bizarre world of reactionary right wing men who broadcast on stations like GB News or Talk TV, the incisive wit of Maria Hyde was on show this week as she wrote in the Guardian about the phenomenon of men insisting they had been cancelled by the BBC, whilst actually being on the BBC.  She writes “what seems clear is that John Cleese suffers one of the great afflictions of our age, a kind of delusional broadcast disorder that can make the sufferer believe they have been cancelled by the BBC even while they are literally on the BBC. In any rational world you’d be able to state the obvious reality – the condition is overwhelmingly suffered by men. But you can’t say it! You can’t say it! You can look at Cleese, or Noel Edmonds, or Nigel Farage, or Laurence Fox, but you’re banned from saying what you see. You have to pretend that women are out there every five minutes wanging on about how they’re not allowed to have a primetime show forever, as well as a bus pass or leadership of a political party, and how their only alternative option is presenting hours of gloriously bitter live telly every week on one of our bazillion-pound news-o-tainment channels.”
