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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, in general, few news outlets dare query what now passes for modern politics, so it is good to hear different opinions.

Not just from leave and during the campaign, leave were not a majority heard voice on MSM.

BBC and Ch4 and Sky fear questioning woke politics, trans extremism, BLM propaganda, or even lockdown, which I supported, but like to hear other voices on.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both sides do this dance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- one side has The Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, Sky News, GB News and more and one side has....??? i don't even know who represents people in the middle or slightly left nowadays tbh...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The centre have the BBC. The right are trying to destroy the BBC because of this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if that is the case, how the hell have we got to the point when these guys feel 'unheard', when we literally hear them all day every day in the papers and on tv and people in the middle ground only have the BBC to be their voices but are somehow 'taking over ' the world with their apparently lefty news.

Print media leans right and MSM now quite woke, liberal and socially leftish.

Sky is not right wing.

Room for all....I watched and read left and right or leave and remain views.

You might be Labour and oppose Boris lockdown, while being pro- Brexit.

Or a Tory remainer who supports Boris and his new July deadline.

That's a rhetoric. The right know that if you keep repeating something, eventually everyone will think it is a fact. It has been their best weapon the last 10 years and is why we know have a populist as PM whose popularity is unaffected by his gaffs and general incompetence.

Since it had a posh bint defending a nonce royal yesterday I can’t see it lasting very long, and the fact one of its main presenters was peddling his anti lockdown rhetoric which enabled a BBC presenter to get abused/attacked yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if GB news didn't exist then the BBC news reporter wouldn't have been abused then? is that what you are saying?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes

It’s unheard because they have to be a bit more subtle with their bigotry. And they don’t like that.

BBC are quite woke now, middle class, liberal, Londoncentric, not tolerant of nasty leavers or conservative minded populists, imo.

Corbyn wanted to purge the BBC too, so Tories and the far left guys dislike the beeb.

Their news and programmes are ok by me, but they have gone a bit woke and naff

Do you feel that if you keep throwing the word 'woke' in whatever you say, it validates what your saying or something? It's makes you sound happy to be unaware of issues that are affecting people.

The BBC is the same as it has always been. If the right and left complain it is biased, then it is a pretty clear indicator that it is in the centre.

The main reason the extremes dislike it, is because it reports facts. These people want unopposed opinion which matches their own, which is why GB News now exists.

It was used by Americans 1st i think, to show that you are aware of social issues etc and now it's been flipped by various media outlets in the uk to be the worst thing in the world...ignorance is bliss for many.

Which in effect makes GB News a propaganda vehicle, not an unbiased news reporting service. They'll take some people in though.

A bit like how they have also flipped the word 'liberal' to be an insult.
