GB News

Is it more 'dangerous' than fox or Russia today though? - I think not personally.

Have you ever watched RT? They give greater editorial freedom to topical shows than places like the BBC.

I have never bothered with any of their news output but the shows that give room for academics to find a wider audience are worth a watch.

I have watched some of GBNews and I can't see anything of similar quality. Never any serious discussion, just red top columnist style rants and all from the same studio (RT shows have their own branding).

I watch quite a lot of their documentary style reports on youtube. Brilliantly done, and a great way of gaining a different perspective - so long as you are aware of the clear Russian State influence and agenda behind it. No I don't see similar qualities in GBN which from the little I have seen appears to be a bit crap, and as you say a red top in tv form.
Having said that, I see nothing more harmful in GBN than said red tops. Would the world be better without them - probably?, but I see more danger in a society that seeks to shut them down rather than one that largely chooses to walk on by and leave them to appeal to their diminishing audience.

Its not a governmental agenda but it is run with an agenda set by owners who don't come from GB, don't live in GB and have no history with GB. I wonder what their agenda is?

Sad truth is you could say that about most things in this country, and especially the media.
Stir up the working class by blaming everything on ‘foreigners‘ whilst standing by and watch everything being sold to a different set of ‘foreigners‘ in the name of capitalism.

It’s basically 24/7 loose women. Morons passionately but poorly discussing the “outrageous” vox pop of the day.

The ITV2 of news channels.

The race to the bottom continues.

I assume this is the same Carole Cadwalladr who in 2018 exposed the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data 'scandal' in relation to the Brexit referendum? Well I say scandal, but did anyone call it a 'scandal' in 1960 when JFK utilised TV better than Richard Nixon and won that campaign? Does anyone look back on 2008 and say, "Oh, that Barack Obama, he only won that election by using the t'internet better than John McCain?"...

So when I see Carole Cadwalladr tweeting stuff like this, the phrase "well, she would, wouldn't she..." springs to mind.
