‘Veep’ Creator Armando Iannucci: “I’m Angrier Than I’ve Ever Been With The Conservative Government” – Edinburgh TV Festival

“I just feel angrier now than I’ve ever been,” he said.
Later in the MacTaggart Legacy session, which featured four former speech givers, Iannucci addressed why journalists are often seen as failing to pose hard questions to politicians. “Journalists are slightly scared of being seen as not objective, and [they] are being insulted and attacked for asking tough questions.”
Historian, producer and broadcaster Olusoga, who delivered the 2020 lecture and focused on industry failures around diversity, warned that the liberal
