Just turned it on for 10 mins. It's the most amateurish load of shit I've ever seen. Presented by clowns, produced by idiots.
It's barely a propaganda piece, I mean last night the launch which should of been very popular only gained 262,000 viewers which amazingly is still apparently more than the BBC news channel. This represents though less than 0.5% of the population.Correct, basically it is propaganda TV in the same way the Mail is propaganda in print.
It will talk about the issues that their owners want them to talk about, it will be like Spiked where that pompous prick Brendan O'Neill sells his soul for coin.
It is the sort of TV that suits people who rote learn, they can answer questions but never question answers, This channel will just be a diatribe of unchallenged propaganda that suits the wishes of the owners not the public and it is no coincidence it appears after months of defund the BBC stuff plastered all over social media. Good luck to them, they will find their audience, an audience that no doubt shows how patriotic it is by booing footballers who represent the country they purport to love and an audience that thinks Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane are Marxists. Bless em.
On the plus them giving a platform for all kinds of RW fruitcakery and far right nutjobbery will mean they cannot claim they have been cancelled, the pathetic snowflake shithouses.
Your silent majority point is a good one, a statement popularised by the disgraced former US President Nixon who used it in a speech in 1969, he saw the silent majority as being in support of the Vietnam war and he appealed to them as a means of getting elected. he believed the silent majority were being silenced by a vocal minority who were leading the Anti War movement in America. You are right to warn people to be wary because this unspecified group are often used to justify something that is unpopular or controversial.

On those figures I don't know why any of these news channels bother, you can nearly get as many people into Wembley. 10x more people will watch Coronation Street tonight than all of the news channels put together. The Daily Mail has around 2 million daily readers which is 2-4% of the population so barely even worthy of being called a minority let alone anything else.
The big game changer in all politics and certainly news media is social media, that's where the propaganda, danger and power behind all division lies.
Fuck me - just seen this on Twitter - its not even North Korea standard - its quality is DDR/Romania quality broadcasting !! Is it all just similar? A series of monologues which they imagine is news?
Just seen their correspondent on the press conference - is that what its like? The picture was so out of synch with the voice it looked like he was questioning in Italian and it was being dubbed into English
Roger Daltry on answering the big questions from the public as put to him by Dan Wooten. Mumbling about people dying of car crashes and cause of death on death certificate being registered as covid and American doctors discovering ventilators are killing people.
