Current Affairs GB News

Hahaha I can picture it how - Dan "Contender for worst person in the world" Wootton espousing socialist philosophy to maintain balance lol lol lol

Meh, Sky News went centre ground, it left a gaping hole for right wing nonsense - not a surprise to see it being filled. Must admit though for my own sanity I'll be avoiding it like the plague.

"a gaping hole for right wing nonsense"?

they already have 70% of the print media, a big slice of talk radio and most of the money behind politics

Everybody in right wing favorite "liberal" mouth piece over egged his self professed "liberal rants" this time...

I meant televised news.

As expected every name announced so far is from the right. Neil and his pals really aren't messing around with this. It's going to launch a lot of petrol on to the culture war bonfire that's already building.

The next few years could bring us to the scenario where the main political battle is between your Cameron and Osborne type Conservatives Vs the hard right Brexiters with the left hardly getting a look in.

Tom Harwood as political editor lol (edit: sorry, correspondent)

there are washed up bits of wood on the Thames foreshore that have more political knowledge than him

I'm surprised Laurence Fox hasn't been signed up yet.

Michelle Dewberry with a prime time slot caught my eye. Doesn't matter what part of the political spectrum you're from, she's dreadful.

What gets me is all of the Twitter threads to do with GB News are full of people who genuinely think BBC News, Channel 4 and Sky are socialist outlets. They are all far from perfect and I've got huge issues with the likes of Kuenssberg but for the most part it is usually subtle bias on our main news channels. GB News is basically shaping up to be a televised right wing tabloid.

I think it'll get even worse as time goes by as they realise appealing to their core base is going to be what wins them clicks and viewers. Except a why Enoch was right documentary series by Nigel Farage within the year.

Yes, Our Tom is Going to GB News

We can now reveal that after almost three years at Guido, Tom Harwood is joining the embryonic GB News station as their Westminster-based political

Eyebrows on this dude, it's like something out of the Omen...
Would be on the look out for 3 loose Rottweilers if I saw him in person.

TBF I am not sure Enoch could be found a more appropriate purgatory than being forced to watch what his heirs are doing to his country. He'd have had people like Farage and Harwood shot during the war.

What America sneezes we get pneumonia... And fully expect a Trump like insurgency from the right. Best left foot forward and all at the ready.

TBF we already have one of those - this is about getting the structure in place to blame someone else for the next five years.

On the way to developing pneumonia, this will end up like the capital riots but just bigger when the "levelling up" and "Rule Brextania" does not come to pass as promised...

I'm interested and horrified in equal measure to see who they are going to pitch as the next enemy. There's no clear group for them to attack but they'll need one when everything goes tits up.

What a fantastic idea - shredded wheat head Andrew Neil launching a British Fox-type 24 hour news channel.

The serfs and brain donors will be slavering watching that.

Andrew Neil launches 24-hour news channel to rival BBC and Sky

GB News aimed at those who feel ‘underserved and unheard’, says veteran broadcaster

www.theguardian.com

Just what we all need in the teeth of a pandemic, a home for MAGA hat wearing, Para banner waving, conspiracy theory cranks and anti-vax freaks.

Reading that sir Robbie Gibb is the brainchild of GB news (brother of prominent right winger conservative Nick). And course made Robbie made his name in that impartial medial institution the BBC across many of its political shows and being known as the hard Brexiteer and of course downing street advisor until recently.
