GB News

[sxturbo]

...is just a phrase. Latest buzzwords to be weaponised. Like adding 'brigade' to stuff or blabbing the words 'mass immigration' and the like. It puts colour in the cheeks of the gullible.

Like reparations, black face and appropriation..

All buzz words to create division....

Black-face I agree is oft used.

Pork loving ones perchance?

You will see them bandied about a lot on this forum. We all use them to raise the temperature. All a bit silly really, especially when the attribution is tenuous at best.

They have been known for their gob all warming effect!

But you'll happily adopt 'cancel culture' for your own agenda:


You want to stop people ridiculing, criticising and campaigning against GB news. Isn't that cancel culture, trying to shut down discussion?
Isn't that trying to deny people form airing their opinions?

No, i'm not suggesting that people have to stop criticising or ridiculing GB news. If they don't like it, that's fine by me. What i object to is the concerted effort to prevent GB news from broadcasting and airing their views, particularly before it's even started broadcasting.

However, i expect that you'll accuse me of wanting to cancel cancel culture next.

Like the Conservatives refusing to talk to any media that dare hold them to account or call out their lies.

I understand why people find that frustrating. However, if they refuse to talk to certain media then it's widely reported and discussed, so its not being 'cancelled'.

Buzzwords - favoured by The Wail (news outlet for dumb people)

That is your choice of reading, one you have on your computer you said.

Oddly enough, as we 'speak' they're talking to Nick Wallis, investigative journalist who uncovered the Post Office scandal (sub postmasters). The afternoon presenters I've seen are not good, this 'bird' who came on at 6 is better. I quite like the magazine format and having people phone in with opinions which makes it more interactive.
I havn't looked at their schedule yet but I want to see a daily news roundup, like news at ten.

There you go - phone in with opinions. So more uninformed opinions just like Fox news with their "some people say line".

It's garbage but it attracts its key audience older men - so you will be in good company.

You don't need Vox Pops - that's not the news, thats a lack of rigorous news reporting.

Talking to Nick wallis is a lot cheaper than paying him to investigate something - GB News will be like Fox - just interviews and opinions passing off as News.

Philip Davies a Tory MP called scientists advising Bojo as "communists".

RW latch onto certain words that are repeated again and weaponised - communism, socialism, marixism and now cancel culture.

 

[SirGalahad]

So if Cancel Culture is trying to stifle debate then those booing the England Team taking the Knee are doing exactly that. So all those who supported the fans booing are in fact partaking in this cancel culture.

You see how its a weaponised term. No good will come from this fabricated culture war - it keeps people distracted from the real issues.

Boris called our Health Secretary Hopeless and scarpers when meetings get tough, yet some portrait of the queen is some student union gets more eyeballs.

I see that the Express has articles calling for boycotts of firms who have withdrawn advertising from GB news...

Tells you all you need to know!

OfCom are investigating Dan Wootton after a Covid Conspiracy rant that had no facts or news

Fighting fire with fire.

But two wrongs don't make a right.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

I'm not making a concerted, targeted, aggressive effort to shut them down.
I don't like cancel culture and i'd prefer that it stops.

You want to stop people ridiculing, criticising and campaigning against GB news. Isn't that cancel culture, trying to shut down discussion?
Isn't that trying to deny people form airing their opinions?

Lower never mentioned he accepted cancel culture whether bit was things he agreed with or not.
Your trying to twist what he said unsuccessfully

How can asking a question, i.e drawing a comparison possibly be misunderstood as 'twisting things'?
I think you're having trouble understanding plain English.
But then again, you have been proven of making spurious egregiously lying allegations on another issue.
I guess you're intent on fermenting your devious approach to discussions.
