Because Newsnight was a show that had a more relaxed, wry perspective on current affairs. People without a sense of humour or an understanding of the history of British political commentary went nuts over it, which was entertaining.
Ah, yes, leaning on red scare tactics painting a man as a communist because he wants the rich to pay their fair share in taxes. Very relaxed and wry.
Was it also painting Tory then-defence secretary Gavin Newsom as a communist when he appeared in the exact same graphic a few weeks previously?
Yeah, probably. Libs love their "horseshoe theory" about communism.

Oh get fucked.
Oh, it was just a joke? Like on TopGear?
