It's almost as if GB is run by a bunch of charlatans and amateurs! I may have to start watching, it sounds hilarious

Ah good spot I couldn't see that until you pointed it out she has indeed got her fingers crossed. I guess it's more BS to suit.... Well no, you didn't spot it until it was spotted out to you, as did I. Point still stands about them being amateurs. Er OK but you can I assume confirm it wasn't mischief then? Edit: just to help the BS was aimed at the tweet not you.

Good to see all the lefties boosting the ratings😉 Now the weather man has gone walkabout 😂 I have to say there have been some amusing bits and bobs in the opening week but most new long format shows have teething problems, I’d expect it to settle down in the coming weeks.

Nice to see the lady in the middle making the same comparisons I have between linking 'taking the knee' to a few crazies and linking the St George's Flag to the National Front.

Hysterical listening to that dope (think her name was India?) saying she won't be coming back on the show because GB News hates trans people. Good riddance.
Another fine show from DW. He really will be mopping up the viewing numbers if he carries on like this. It's exactly the kind of media that so many British people have longed for.

Spent many times on GMB with good old Piers banging the trans drum a bit of a fruit loop if you ask me.

A mate of mine posted on Stop Funding Hate's Facebook page and asked politely (no abuse or name calling, he's not like that) 'what had GBN or any of it's broadcasting team said that could he deemed 'hateful'?' No one seemed willing to offer a reply but his post was removed and then he was blocked from the group.
A bit of an overreaction, surely?

I've tuned in now quite a lot, almost willing it to be a little bit better than it has been, yet it seems to be consistently dreadful. I will never suggest an ad boycott or anything like that, because that's just wank behaviour, but on general content alone.... it's absolute dross. You can't run an entire News channel on opinion pieces alone and having two presenters basically agreeing with each other does not count as debate.
The presenters clearly have to fill time with mindless patter. Just fucking painful.

I don't watch much TV,hardly any, and could not imagine watching ANY news channel, 24/7, or to " get my news". To be honest I anticipated it being as you state in your experience. I can understand someone thinking we NEED such a channel, because vwe probably do....to balance the left wing propaganda and one sided view put forward by the BBC, Channel 4 ( obviously one group will disagree with that, because they only want to hear the BBC bias......it seems to me that " we" have divided into TWO DISTINCT groups, roughly political, but not not exclusively so, not just left/ right but encompassing other aspects of culture/ freedom of speech/ attitudes/ approach to life.....and never the twain shall meet. For me the reason the GBNews Will ultimately , relatively fail, is not because of its aims, policy, philosophy or content.....its more simple than that.....Young people don't get their news nor get their information from "TV NEWS PROGRAMMES "......most middle aged, older people don't either. Those days have gone with the advent of the Internet and social media.

Yes, you've got the Guardian and the BBC, but you've also got The Sun and the Daily Mail. Politically, I believe we've got a relatively balanced media with two sides fighting for their relative political positions. What is surprising is the hoity toity toffness of the Guardian say vs the Daily Mail. Really, the opposite should be true. Culture wise, I agree, the media leans to left-wing values. It says a lot that after Ched Evans was found not guilty, the first question on the media mind was "but what about the wamen"

I do believe the BBC and Channel 4 are " left leaning".....but , as I've tried to explain in my post the two camps are not now simply left/ right. But of course others will argue differently.

You've got BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Sky News as the main TV news stations... 3 out of the 4 are clearly left leaning (new left, ie woke, pro lockdown, pro cancel culture etc) and the other being centrist at best. TV has been crying out for a right leaning outlet. The radio is absolutely dominated with left leaning sentiment too with the exception of talkradio. Unsurprisingly talkradio is the fastest growing station in the country and GB News mopped up more viewers than Sky or the BBC in their first week on air. Kind of answers the question as to where our mainstream media sit and where the majority of viewers/listeners want our media to sit. People are totally and utterly sick of moderate, soft, left leaning, centrist politics with zero leadership.

I am left wing. I think the Guardian are absolute shite as well. The reason GB News is rubbish is because it's bloated nothingness. There is very little content and lots of just time wasting. They don't appear to cover a whole lot but when they do, it tends to be the exact thing they complain about the Beeb and Guardian doing. I aren't arsed about their crappy mics and poor cameras. The content is dull dog shit.
