GB news does the above too...like pointing out Meghan lied about already being married by the arch bishop, or saying her mixed race baby would not get security.

The real nitty gritty journalism that gets the patriotic blood pumping.

Yea, fair cop...

GB news do covid, lockdown and brexit and BLM, take the knee and Boris not fit to run a bath stuff too, but use Meghan as a woke target I guess, which is ok once or twice, but will wear thin.

Happy Birthday NI

------------------------------------------------------------------

So they're called GB News but want to focus on giving opinions more than actual news.....riiiight.

That's what people want news to be. People don't want facts anymore, they want validation of their opinions. If a fact contradicts that, then it is biased.

Based on what I have watched so far it is actually far worse than I expected (excluding the obvious technical issues). Having the same presenters talking about the same topic on rotating 3 hour slots every day will make it go stale very fast. I can't see it lasting in it's current format very long.

The notion that it gives the "unheard voices" a voice is laughable. Predominantly all of the presenters and guests are all products of the mainstream media and Westminster bubble they claim they are against. Without the likes of the BBC and sky giving the likes of Nigel Farage a platform on numerous occasions, it is highly unlikely he would have become the established figure he is now.

Marxist mumbo jumbo, claiming there is a war on black people, BLM founders with 4 houses, the likes of Sasha Johnson, and race baiting identity politics, needs called out, imo.

There's no other news channels that challenge the mainstream orthodoxy, there's a big appetite for that kind of network. it'll do really well imo . But it sounds like half of their viewers are p!ssed off lefties
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha, they watch it to get triggered and vent here.

Piers Morgan, for all his faults, had a go at all sides, Boris, Corbyn, woke left, trans extremism, and called out the Meghan show lies and propaganda, that tried to label Brits and the Queen etc as rabid racists who hate brown babies.

GB news does the above too...like pointing out Meghan lied about already being married by the arch bishop, or saying her mixed race baby would not get security.

Refreshing to see, but hard to hear, due to their sound issues, lol

How could the media not give guys such as Farage, UKIP, leavers a platform when half the nation felt that way?

Corbyn was a eurosceptic who voted with Kate Joey against the eu for decades, so should the media not have aired Labour or left wing critiques of the EU and Brussels.

Millions of Labour voters backed Farage ideas.

From Tony Benn up to Corbyn, the left have been eurosceptic too.

You've just proved my point. They were given a platform and are not "unheard voices" as they portray themselves to be

Imagine, backing Cameron Remainers....do you feel dirty, lol??

They do. The right are by far the biggest whiners about it though.

Hence why we have a bunch of career broadcasters whose view everyone already knows, pretending they have set up a channel to save free speech. When really it is just to allow their views to go unopposed on the pretence everything else is biased.

Love GB News - better than the biased trash you get off the BBC

At last a channel that gives a wholistic and fair view of current affairs rather than just what the whinging wishy-washy left wing continually rant on about
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From what I watched the other day, Halligan misinformed his audience on three occasions in the space of about 45 mins.

Insofar as news *reporting* is concerned it's not GB News' modus operandi to do so. But offer opinionated interpretation of current affairs.

The model for doing so is already saturated by social media, so they've got a real struggle on their hands to compete.

The BBC is probably the most reliable news medium there is. And whilst they don't always get everything right, all of the time, the fact you believe they are "biased trash" suggests models such as GB / Fox News, Infowars etc etc will provide you the type of "news" you want to consume irrespective of factual content.

I don't watch the news anymore. I highly recommend this.
