GB NEWS

It appears there are extremely strong views against this channel - and that is fair enough we live in a so called democracy.

But as a true democracy we do, do we not, have to allow a platform offering views different to ours?

Frankly if you don’t like the agenda why bother tuning in at all?!

Sorry are you therefore saying “don’t say bad things about the Daily Mail” - just don’t read it? And by the way I don’t tune in.
 
It looks like you are. Basically you just said “why bother criticising the channel. Just don’t watch it”
Two different points - everyone is free to criticise whatever they want. What is apparent is some offering criticism appear to watch it - not something I get I’m afraid

Why not? Surely it's worse to make a judgement on something based on a feeling you have about it? Rather than observing the thing and realising how bad it is?

Im sorry but you have some muddled logic there. I suspect everybody on this thread who has passed criticism is not a subscriber to the channel In the sense that you are implying.
 
Mart I would expect better from you.
In what way? If the argument that all views should have opportunity to be aired, then we need to test to see if they truly mean all, or just all the ones that they can tolerate, which then makes it subjective not an objective 'all'. I'm asking for clarity on this view, no offence intended, it's purely for clarity,,,and your response indicates that certain views are not acceptable to be given a public tv platform?
 
Once more, and I repeat, in a democracy most views are/will be allowed, the exceptions being those promoting racism, homophobia and the like.
However there will no doubt be some with views these - in the truest definition of democracy- should be allowed to pedal their shyte with the view to show them up for what they are.

So the question is, how overt does that racism or homophobia need to be to not be acceptable?

Can you define 'and the like' more clearly, because 'and the like' isn't governable. The line seems very blurry otherwise, and if the line is blurry then it's pretty obvious that for some people GBNews and The Daily Mail for example stray beyond that line.

Which is exactly what people have been doing in this thread. And for some reason you seem to have taken some strange exception to it.
 
You absolutely did.
Those banging on about freedom of speech still don’t understand that you’re not free from the consequences of your speech. If a channel pedals extreme right wing views and stokes up destructive nationalism and frightening bigotry we have a right to call it out for doing so
Consequence is challenge. So here is a challenge.

What about GB news left wing commentators? Destructive nationalism? GB news isnt ethno nationalism.

What frightening bigotry from Nana Gloria Mercy Anne Paul? Who?

Is GB news platforming carers, nurses and GP's regarding mandatory vaccination examples of extreme right wing views? Thousands of working class people lost jobs in care thousands more in the NHS would have also had careers ruined GB news has been supporting working class people v the government, while Labour voted for working class people to get the sack.
