I love GB News

I recently started watching GB News and am finding it so interesting. Once you get past the different format to the usual news programmes it is very good. There are so many different views expressed from all political spectrums. I like that contributors are allowed to say their piece and it's then debated. Not just left or right wing views.

5100 households- it’s difficult to get reliable information as one site suggested 1000. Still out of a population of 67 million or so it doesn’t seem that reliable.

It is amusing how invested some are in a small tv station.grin

I think the lady does protest too much

Just Google it, it’s not hard to find out. BARB uses a range of different polling companies, and large sample sizes. It’s above board. BBC, Sky and ITV see each other as the rivals as they have the biggest viewing numbers.

Namsnanny I was a bit nonplussed that only 1000 people were on the panel! I didn’t know who owned Barb so yes very funny.

🤣🤣🤣that did give me a laugh Wwmk2 but for different reasons than I think you enjoyed it.
Ronib as I understand it Barb is owned by Bbc/sky/itv/chn4
So, why would they promote GBn?

Sorry varian but do you think anything calling its self 'boycott' anything, is going to give unbiased information?

ronib Fri 07-Jul-23 18:35:40

Wwm2 is Barb based on 1000 households only? Probably not very accurate?

Thought I’d just drop this in here 😄😄😄😄😄😄

Do you know what 'woke' means?

Not sure who you're post was aimed at HPQ but you raise an interesting question.
What do you think woke means?

I would just like to point out that the good viewers of GBNews raised £130,000 for the charity MIND.

I’d just like to point out that the good readers of the Guardian raised £1.5m for Citizens Advice and a network of grassroots charities last Christmas.

Forty complaints in The Guardian about GBNews?
Who would have thought it?

You misunderstand. The complaints were made to Ofcom. The story was reported in the Guardian, as well as in all the other media.

There was an interesting review of GB News in the Press Gazette a couple of months ago.

*The news channel has "anti-woke" political positions*

That’s why I like it.

Sorry varian but you have to accept that not everyone watches C4 news, reads the guardian, & is a woke leftie.

I find GB news very refreshing.

Well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Only news channel I trust !

GB "News" is not a news channel - it is a right wing propaganda channel - like Fox "News" in the USA. Only the thoroughly brainwashed could trust it.

Are you polishing your pitchfork Varian? 😁

If you accept that GB News is a news channel you must also accept that politicians like Mogg working for GB News are breaking ministerial rules.
