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.

Executives, not executors.

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.

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

I really enjoy Michelle Dewberry’s discussions…

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.

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

Latest NF news tonight. He is looking for a change in the law.

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.

A complaint has been made to OFCOM about the GB news petition.

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?

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

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

Namsnanny Fri 07-Jul-23 18:59:53

Here is some helpful information _ facts, not opinions about GBNews, its funders, executors and presenters.

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

Namsnanny Fri 07-Jul-23 19:14:03

🤣🤣🤣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?

ronib Fri 07-Jul-23 19:23:55

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.

Casdon Fri 07-Jul-23 19:38:37

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.

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

I think the lady does protest too much

ronib Fri 07-Jul-23 19:44:26

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.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 07-Jul-23 19:45:00

The point is that GBNews isn’t in competition with other main news outlets, it is in competition with other entertainment outlets and is doing abysmally.

ronib Fri 07-Jul-23 19:47:11

I think Gb news is cornering the market.
