GB News

[sxturbo]

How would this happen with do many foreign news channels

They have to have a UK airing licence, if they report false news licence revoked

 

[sxturbo]

Would such News organisations be banned from showing politicians speaking - or would that not count?

I've not really thought of the ins and outs of it, but surely something needs to be done.

But back to the topic...

Guto Harri quits GB News

"In his resignation letter, obtained by The Independent, Harri asked the organisation to "please explain how that [Farage's stance] does not breach editorial standards but I did"

"Harri, a former BBC correspondent and advisor to Boris Johnson when he was Mayor of London, noted how when he had joined the new channel he "liked and trusted those in charge and supported the broad vision".
However, he declared that GB News was "rapidly becoming an absurd parody of what it proclaimed to be".

It'll all end in the bin when the news channel realise that the audience they are increasingly playing to are rather thick and will get bored very quickly!

So not likely to be a "lefty", then.

It'll all end in the bin when the news channel realise that the audience they are increasingly playing to are rather thick and will get bored very quickly!

Or when the advertisers they need realise that the audience are not the people they are trying to reach?


'GB News chair Andrew Neil has said the channel is "finding its feet"'

If they kneel down, and look behind them, theyll find them close by on the floor.

If they kneel down

Nigel Fromage 'aint kneeling for no one...

On Friday, incoming presenter and former Ukip leader Nigel Farage said he "will not be taking the knee for anyone"

It's Fromage's way of admitting he will never have a knighthood.

 

[Captain Nemesis]

Or find his feet when they arent in his mouth.

 

[ellal]

Oh look, another racist joins the right wing GB News...

Arlene Foster...

Invited by farage of course...

We all know the direction this alleged 'news' channel is headed!

 

[Captain Nemesis]

.

 

[ellal]

GB News is not here to bring people together and report the news - its here to stoke divisions like the Daily Mail.

Even gobshite Neil couldn't stand up for it...

"Andrew Neil has resigned as chairman and lead presenter of GB News, just three months after helping to launch the channel."

 

[ellal]

"Former BBC presenter Andrew Neil says he left GB News over the direction the channel was taking, saying he became a "minority of one" within management.
The journalist told BBC Question Time he would let people "make up their own minds" over whether his exit was because the channel was too right wing.
He also described the launch of the new station as not a "startling success".

"GB News is looking to hire more of Nigel Farage’s former Brexit party stablemates as channel bosses look set to rebuild the station as a full-throated culture war outlet after the departure of Andrew Neil.
GB News appears to be increasingly being moulded in Farage’s image"

As predicted, so much for the channel's 'neutrality' claim!

Andrew Neil is the polar opposite of Ellal. He said he was here to stay and then left, whereas Ellal said, well, we all know how that went……..

You do realise how pathetically ignorant you are, old wino

 

[SirGalahad]

Neil is a liar and a busted flush. Shame he went full RWR.

 

[Mottie]

You do realise how pathetically ignorant you are…

Ignorant as in being unaware of the facts (which you have never made anyone aware of) or ignorant as in discourteous or rude like you are?

By the mob, i mean the people that tore down the statue. Everyone else was acting lawfully. I wasn't aware who had cast the plaque, only that the elected mayor objected and prevented it being placed which is democracy, not cancel culture, in action.

Apparently they were acting lawfully. As they were found not guilty.

Three men and a woman have been found not guilty of criminal damage after toppling the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston during a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol, an act of public dissent that reverberated around the world.
