I don't see the need for the indignation and outrage over things like this.
If you don't like what you see or hear then simply don't watch it.
The remote control is easy enough to use.
Watched it for 10 minutes last night. Quality of presentation/sound was poor. Presenters didn't come across as polished, all seemed a bit wooden. Turned it off after 10 minutes.
 
Because it's a commodity to be used people prejudices by this lot, and when it's passed being useful and so emotive and profit growing, whatever those prejudices had manifested from will still exist. However, those fiddlers and pied pipers won't be playing anymore, moved on and will leave people still without much and wondering what the f...!
 
The viewership of this channel have been trying to ‘cancel’ Kopparberg and their products, for having the gall to pull advertisements of theirs from broadcast that the company say were nothing to do with them



Other companies including Nivea and Grolsch have done likewise as have the Open University

Thus validating the existence of GB News entirely and giving them a massive PR win.

Well done morons.

Imagine spending your day tweeting companies trying to get them to remove adverts from something you never intend to watch. Sad doesn't even begin to describe it.

Indeed. There's some on here that claim 'woke' and 'cancel culture' doesn't even exist. Amazing really.

The left are their own worst enemies and they just can't see it. And it is so, so annoying.

I just don't understand it - people appealing to multinational corporations that make billions of pounds in profit, but they're not asking them to improve working conditions or pay their staff more... they're asking them to pull advertising from a boring TV channel nobody will watch lol like, are these people okay?

Imagine if the EDL tried to do this to an independent left-leaning magazine or something - I'd be mortified to breathe the same air as them.

They don't care about any of that. They're just interested in lowest hanging fruit.

Example: P&G make a Gillette ad about men being bad, great, all praise to the corporation! P&G also destroy rainforests, meh.

It's identity politics, constantly. Anyone who doesn't think the way I do must be silenced at all costs, whatever the method.

And then they all wonder why Tories win elections and why things like GB News and Trump exist.

And here's the kicker; when you identify exactly what it is, they try to shut you down, constantly, because they don't want what they're doing challenged in any way; they simply want you to bow down to it.

Screw 'em. Prev can make snarky comments like the above all he wants; as long as I see stupidity, I'll call out stupidity. Giving GB News a free PR win by moaning about companies advertising on it, proving the exact reason they exist is valid, is stupid. Could have just ignored it, could have just laughed at it, but no, you validate it and make them sympathetic.

Morons. Complete morons.

The issue is because there are real concerns about the accuracy of the coverage. If you give misleading information the legitimacy of "news" then people become even less well informed than they already are.

I swear these people only exist in your head. I know you will like an article from last year to prove your point or something, but you seem to be very hung up a particular type of 'person'.

What you come out with is every much as clichéd as the person you are fighting against.
