private eye

private detective or investigator (Slang)

Private Eye is a British satirical magazine-newspaper, edited by Ian Hislop and published every two weeks. Since its first publication in 1961, the magazine has been well-known in the UK as a prominent critic of public figures deemed incompetent, inefficient or corrupt, and has become a self-styled "thorn in the side" of the British establishment, though it also receives much criticism and ire, both for its style and for its willingness to print defamatory and controversial stories. This is reflected in its large volume of libel lawsuits, for which it has also become famous. Such is the long-term popularity and significance of the magazine that many jokes and cultural miscellanea from its pages have entered popular culture.
