OMG I didn’t realise Laurence Fox was a star presenter no wonder I haven’t watched it what a nasty piece of work he is
Well I hope it drops off the face of the TV as soon as possible we can do with out his sort ranting
Hideous people

Of course I’m going to be interested in it’s demise, as imo should all right thinking people.

I think you should re-phrase that to say ‘left thinking people’ - all you’re doing is trying to shut down the debate. The last time I looked, there was still free speech in the UK, although how long that will last in the hands of the ‘woke’ brigade is debatable.

I’ve been watching GBNews for last couple of weeks. Don’t agree with a lot of what they say but it’s interesting to hear different perspectives. Only problem is that certain sections are repeated so I’ll turn it on in the morning and it’ll be the same as the night before. They have had some problems with the sound and that’s been a bit of a turn off.

I’ve watched it a few times, usually around 10pm when Dan Wootten is presenting. Quite bemused to see him as only ever noticed him chatting about soaps I think on Lorraine, on the few occasions I’ve seen her programme.
I’m still in two minds,it does feel very new and needs to find it’s niche but I feel it will make a welcome change of view from the mainstream news programmes.

We have Sky News on for most of the day. Only started doing so pre referendum but it continued because it’s the easiest way of keeping on top of what’s happening. We combine it with reading The Times and watching Ch4 News. I must subscribe to The Guardian or the i though.

LinkyPinky Mon 19-Jul-21 13:16:38

Well, you all seem to watch an awful lot of daytime telly.

Susieq62 Mon 19-Jul-21 13:13:26

Just avoid what you dislike
Well I dislike racism but I m buggered if I m going to avoid it
I m going to fight it head on all the time while I have strength in my body
Any company that would employ Farage is off the scale of my dislike, it ll be Katie Hopkins next

I love GB News it's my go to programme every evening now there's some thing i want to watch. love it - from 8 pm till bedtime at 10 +. they even have good things to say about President Trump - HURRAH at last.

Dear lord... Please do tell - what can they possibly claim is 'good' about Trump?

Paperbackwriter Mon 19-Jul-21 12:30:51

Advertising themselves as 'anti-woke' does journalists no favours. 'Woke' simply means being concerned about other people and the climate, about not tolerating unfairness or bigotry. I can't see anything wrong with 'woke', personally.

Just wondering, is the lovely Katie going to join now she has been kicked out of Australia. She would make a lovely addition to the team, no?

I really have tried to watch GB News; know thine enemy, you know?

But it really is dreadful. It doesn't have balanced views, it is right wing and as far as I'm aware it really does still have a segment called "Woke Watch". Didn't they just "cancel" that chap for taking the knee?

The news programs on the new BBC Scotland channel had dire audience figure to begin with, but they found their feet and they're not bad now. I don't think GB News should be cancelled at all, but if it doesn't get an audience it will go out of business.

GeorgyGirl Mon 19-Jul-21 11:24:46

GB NEWS is what we have been needing for a long time to show some balance, they are not right wing at all, they believe in free speech and hold debates allowing people of all races and religions to air their views without being 'cancelled' and they are defintely not racist, which you will see if you watch it. I for one will continue to watch it as it doesn't try to tell you what you should be thinking. I wish them all the luck in the world.

katy1950 Mon 19-Jul-21 11:22:45

I've stopped watching all tv news channels sick and tired of listening to presenters own opinions rather then the facts . I listen to the news on the radio they seem to stick to facts

nanna8 Mon 19-Jul-21 11:11:59

Just going back but I think Hitler actually was an Arian on the cusp of Taurus, strangely enough. He was born in April. I can’t watch that news because I don’t live there but any station employing Nigel Barrage I wouldn’t watch because I have a racial prejudice against his breed.

icanhandthemback Mon 19-Jul-21 11:08:14

I haven't found time to watch GBNews but the more channels you listen to or papers you read, the more likely you are to get a balanced view. I find it interesting about the way subjects are presented and the use of terminology.

It is refreshing to view broadcasting which isn't produced by left-wing biased companies.

You do get a less biased viewpoint from GB News, and see two sides to issues discussed.

The only thing I dislike is that some of their studios appear quite dark, and sound quality isn't as clear as some of the major TV broadcasters.

There should be room for every viewpoint in a free democratic society, unless it promotes terrorism or violence.

Caro57 Mon 19-Jul-21 10:37:54

We are also watching it so we are also ‘zero’ - they do need to get the sound system sorted out!

Kali2 Sun 18-Jul-21 17:42:30

You don't need to read DM from cover to cover to come to that conclusion. Same for GBnews probably- but not taking the risk ;) Farage joining is enough ;)

I almost wish I had a t.v. set so I could see how dreadful this programme is alleged to be.

I do have a tv but have no clue either as it isn't on my radar.

Perhaps I should take a look.
It would be rather like reading the Daily Mail cover to cover every day, I expect, then coming on GN to say how horrified you were by what's in it.
