I love Newsrevue, it's the first show I book tickets for every year. This year, however, I left feeling depressed at all the hyperbole about 'political correctness' preventing critique, and the awful, really quite poor stuff on Muslims and fundamentalism. I love the fact that political satire can hold a mirror up to the powerful, ridicule and critique those who wield power over us. It just seems that this dichotomy of Muslim-fundamentalists Vs non-Muslim-Liberals makes the creative element become one of us and them. Rather than interrogate ourselves, we're so busy constructing and manning the barricades that we end up rehearsing hurtful stereotypes...
