I once sent a CV, cover letter and small portfolio to Private Eye in the hope of finding work there. I received a hand-written and signed reply note from Ian Hislop himself stating that he regretted to inform me that there were no opportunities available. I was amazed that he'd spared the time and had been polite enough to write back to me, and it was without a doubt the best rejection letter I've ever received (I have to admit I was somewhat starstruck too). I loved him enough as it was, but to receive that made me respect him just that little bit more. I might not see eye-to-eye with him on certain things, but that ought to be expected. I still see him as an ultimately and thoroughly decent man.

The Eye has been (and still is) savaging Corbyn and Labour, as well as Boris & the Tories, but at the end of the day, the Tories are actually doing stuff and Labour can only really talk about doing stuff, being in opposition.

Ian's a good satirist and the point of satire for me is to point out hypocrisy, misleading and lies. Their weapon is truth, the more negative effect a target of satire has on society the more value satire has as a weapon. It should never concern itself with whom the satire is targeted, thus be politically unbiased. Some looking through their personal political prism would accuse a good satirist of being partisan for pointing the satire at their own parties expense, while completely ignoring a good satirists history of calling things correct no matter whom their target. I also value the claims from a partisan satirist too if their claims have a basis in truth, as putting ones own group in order has more value than focusing only on the issues of others. nous devrions tous être charlie !

Basically the same except it eliminates the influence of others and just sticks to what you've done. Same goes for a thing you did in the world. Is it richer for it, than it otherwise would've been? I don't think that's necessarily the be-all and end-all but it's a solid place to begin. I'd certainly put an investigative journalism effort such as Private Eye in the "is better for" category.
