I love GB News

Yesterday- not yes.
See, I’m at it again 🙄

I see that the banks are suspecting Farage of either fraud or money laundering or possibly both.

Subsequently they have frozen his bank accounts.

Farage is squealing like a stuck pig.

I think you’ll only be happy when he’s locked away in the tower whitewave 😁
I can’t begin to tell you the number of people, especially MPs who have been investigated about this sort of thing, but you just seem to have the knife into Nigel Farage‘s back..
I will try my best not to interact with you anymore on this subject, but I can’t promise…

New phrase to me: 'fun sponges'.

So apt, and much easier to spell than sanctimonious.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica classes The Daily Mail as a newspaper and states this in a fact checked piece last updated on 5 June 2023. You’re wrong.

Yes Fun Spongers lol or miserable bug**rs.

If I’m going to watch something about the news that’s humorous I’ll stick to HIGNFY or The Last Leg ( which is, thankfully, back on air on Friday).

Wikipedia

The Daily Mail has also been criticised for its unreliability, its printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories of science and medical research,[18][19][20][21] and for instances of plagiarism and copyright infringement.[22][23][24][25] In February 2017, editors on the English Wikipedia banned the use of the Daily Mail as a source

Just switched on to Gb news and surprised to hear some criticism of the Privileges Committee’s second report out today. Quite cheered me up!

Tried to a link but it won’t work so screenshot will hopefully suffice.

I would rather get my fact checked information from EB than Wiki.

Why would you be surprised? Isn't that exactly what you would expect from a channel with a clear right wing bias?

No Varian - I was surprised that someone seemed to have a handle on what’s going on. Keep the wings out of it.

Unfortunately Wikipedia has also been cited as biased WWmk2

I think the Tric awards, will change their strategy next time.
No peoples vote.
It was too embarrassing for the other stations to find that in fact people (when given a chance) could have the audacity to decided for themselves what they wanted to watch in the privacy of their own homes.
That is if GB news hasnt been offcom'd off the airwaves.

Does it worry anyone that freedom of speech and action is being eroded?
It does me.

GB News is an attempt at bringing Fox News-style biased news to the UK. The news channel has "anti-woke" political positions, and a range of right wing, pro-government, pro-Brexit and coronavirus-conspiracist presenters. Many are even former Brexit Party politicians – none of this is normal for a "news channel".

Are you saying that all presenters on all channels should be anti Brexit, anti government, etc?

I dont agree with a lot of views on GB news, I loathe Farage for example, however I think they have the right to broadcast. In the same way I dont agree with the guardian on some issues, (Owen Jones is also a target for my loathing ) but I think they have a right to publish.

I thought the whole point of news was that it was presented as neutrally as possible, with no bias. We fun sponges like to be given facts not opinions - or at least, that’s what I want from news reports.

The guardian has an obvious political slant.

I think unbiased news is almost impossible.

Easy to see who doesn’t really watch GB News.There are often left wing views presented, mixed panels all saying what they think and not getting angry or ranty with each other.
People who supported Brexit and people who didn’t too btw.
True it’s mostly anti-woke but that’s in it’s favour.

Probably, but that should be the aim, and some achieve it whereas others have an evident and even declared political bias.

MerylStreep Fun sponges! Love it😂

The Guardian and The Mirror have a left wing bias.

The "i" is generally accepted as unbiased newspaper.

More than 80% of readers of national newspapers in the UK read newspapers such as The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Times, The Daily Express etc, which have have a right-wing bias.

Absolute nothing wrong with having a right wing news channel. There are plenty of left wing channels so why not a right wing one? It’s called balance.

It’s interesting that the public voted for GB News in the wards ceremony, is it called TRIC? What does that tell us? I didn’t vote, I’d never heard of it before the results were published, but I do find it interesting.

The i is well known to have a left wing bias.
