GB NEWS

Agree it is but bombarding the advertisers on social media in the fashion they have is not the way I would do it.
Consumers have the right to be heard, it is in the interest of the companies to understand why they are loosing custom. You can't complain about cancel culture while cancelling consumer rights That's how capitalism works. Most companies understand the concept of the triple bottom line and some of these companies will probably be having internal investigations into who sanctioned the advertising.

and they have not done been able to do that sufficiently so far.
What is clear so far are two things a) the utter bias, when you have a presenter and 3 people on a couch all pulling the same line then it isn't a debate show, it's political propaganda. There really hasn't been any juxtaposition of views. b) the claim to be a news channel, news deals in facts, facts are so thin on the ground and selected exclusively to back up the particular argument in a subjective manner, that again it isn't 'news' it's propaganda.

The result of those two points is that the channel creates deeper division, deeper hatred, and lower levels of understanding of issues. The claim that it's giving a voice to those without one is ludicrous as all other 'proper' news channels, have had these presenters on as guests giving these opinions, there's nothing new being presented, the only 'new' angle is that it's being presented unchallenged, and that's what this channel has already proven itself to be about. The presentation of right wing, unchallenged and packaged as fact/reality. ..that's propaganda.

GB news " you getting bored of your old echo chamber why dont you come & join ours"
Goebbels would be having a wet dream over the UK governments propaganda outlets we have today.
It’s wide ranging isn’t it? From the Telegraph for the well heeled fascists right down to the sun and GB news for the Brexit lot. It’s an incredible assault on our free thought

Isnt it! the last 3 elections they have got progressively worse too the last election during purdah they didn't even try to appear impartial when you see the British press destroy democracy in such a nasty vicious way like that its clear it needs reforming.
Wait till the next election they will turn on Starmer just the same

You dont have to convince me what it is. I am fully aware of that. My point is a simple one. This is the Daily Mail on television. Advertisers have spent millions on ads in that newspaper. I trust OFCOM are monitoring GB News. Andif anything that can be deemed to be hate speech is broadcast then hit the advertisers then. I know its terrible and tacky and causing division. but I am not going to get into a lather about it daily in as much the same way as I ignore the truly abomination that is the Daily Mail.

great that's your choice to approach it that way, and in an open society everyone else is free to approach it in other ways including campaigning to get advertisers to not give money to that platform.
 

Well that lasted long
Thats surprising. I see his replacement is Colin Brazier who isn't short on controversy.

“In July 2014, following the destruction of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine, Brazier was filmed tampering with the contents of a victim's luggage. Widespread media criticism and calls for Brazier's resignation ensued. As of 21 July, 110 complaints about Brazier's behaviour had been submitted to Ofcom In an article published in The Guardian 22 July 2014, Brazier apologised, admitted that his actions were "a serious error of judgment"
 
He's been doing the day time show hasn't he? From the GB News Fails clips I've seen he seems to be one who can actually hold it together slightly while everything else around him turns to dog sh*t.
