Satire is lacking in this country. Is that because we are not living in a totalitarian state? Back in the day when Kings and Queens used to chop peoples heads off on a whim the satire industry was booming. That was the only way that the state could be questioned without risk to ones limbs and head. Or are we now living in a state where the whole media is controlled by state owned enterprises and where control is now exercised in a more surreptious manner. The Chomskyism that people are repressed into such a tight and narrow band that they think they are free and do not need to write overt satire. I rather think this is where we are at. We think they are benign when the reality is they are malignant.
