GB NEWS beats BBC and Sky News as best news channel

TBH there are many choices of good News programmes if that is what you want.

Although it is named GBNews, that isn’t accurate as the vast majority of their programmes over 90% are opinion led.

Loving how all the GB News haters form their opinions when they have most likely never watched it. 🤣🤣🤣

Unlike other channels they have a very wide and diverse range of guests. They regularly have Labour MPs on like Barry Gardiner, he’s been on loads of times. They all get their chance to give their opinions and they are listened to. They have professors, medical experts, anarchists, pop stars, economists, self made millionaires, former MPs from all parties. it is fascinating to listen to their views.

When you get a reaction like this, you know a nerve has been touched. Five minutes ago there were predictions that it would collapse as soon as it started.

The only nerve it touched in me was that the OP had entirely misread and misunderstood what the link said.

Inaccuracy, particularly when presented in such a 'tah-dah' manner, regardless of the subject, always touches a nerve in me

But there is probably an important conversation about why GB news is increasingly doing well. Especially as a relatively new channel.

But your comment does not encourage discussion.

Oh I have tried a number of times, but honestly after a few minutes I begin to loose the will to live.

The trouble is it is an opinion led format, so we can clearly not expect accuracy.

It’s bias is to the right, which doesn’t suit me.

A couple of times they appear to get close to hate speech.

So much of it I can see reflected in the rhetoric of Trump and Farage

So no I am afraid it is not for me.

And I’m sure the team will lose a lot of sleep over the loss of your viewing…🤓

And it clearly does not enhance debating skills.

I’m not surprised - it’s the only news channel that lets the majority have their say.

Agreed.

'Popular' does not necessarily mean 'good', never mind 'best', and the conclusion that something is 'better' than competitors can't be arrived at without looking at the grounds on which that assumption has been made.

The BBC has to jump through a lot of hoops, being polite about other counties problems and trying not to upset certain people or the wrath will fall on the UK.
I am not saying it is a government mouthpiece but it understands that it has to walk a difficult line for the sake of everyone.
Independent stations do not have to obey such delicacies, they often give what options of what people in the street think, which is very popular.
I often listen to the UK Times radio, it did at one point mention the Russian war ship going through the English Channel, which at the time the BBC weren’t mentioning it.

There is nothing more lively than a debate where everyone agrees with each other.

Personally I prefer quieter more analytic debates between knowledgeable people with different opinions who listen to each other and discuss their different views..

How do you know that they represent the majority? Which majority? Adults? Pensioners? Right minded people? Southerners? Northerners? Daily Mail readers? People who shop at Marks and Spencer? People who share your views? Guardian Readers? NHS workers? Union leaders? LGBTQ community? Reliable information and statistics please.

Omg Magenta you cannot be serious 😂😂😂

Of course I'm not serious. My feeble sense of humour strikes again.

The answer to your question anyway Magenta8. GB News viewers like Marmite, on average, more than non-viewers. Who knew?

Thank you Casdon: I enjoyed reading these statistics including the percentage of GB watchers who enjoy watching football, drink lager and have paid off their mortgages. Very informative.

Wow!! And that’s not at all patronising magenta 😂😂😂😂

Not much!!!

GB News viewers tend to also be working class, are more likely to be beer drinkers than non-beer drinks, and are more likely to declare themselves to be football fans than the general population of Britain.

From Casdon's link. It's not patronising - it's descriptive. It doesn't claim that people in other groups don't watch - just that the majority of the audience falls into the groups they describe.

Having said that, their summary says that there is a high concentration of viewers in the NE, but their graphic shows that they are mainly in the west and middle of England. the NE has 8% to the NW's 16%.

In summary, our findings are that those most likely to be GB news viewers are men; those aged 55 and older; and living in London or the North-East or West Midlands of England.

Those who voted in Leave in 2016 are also more likely to be GB News viewers, as are those who intend to vote Reform at the next election, although more liberal and left-leaning voters also watch the channel.

GB News viewers tend to also be working class, are more likely to be beer drinkers than non-beer drinks, and are more likely to declare themselves to be football fans than the general population of Britain.

The top of this summary was cut off my previous post for some reason.
