I think the strength of LBC is that it is a space where both Farage and O'Brien have a platform. It leaves the listener to decide for themselves where the centre ground is. Most other news/ current affairs channels ask you to assume they are the centre and the world revolves around them. For example, I enjoy both Farage and O'Brien talking about brexit and by listening to both I'm confident I'm hearing both sides of the argument well presented and the other challenged - not something I can say for our politicians and the bbc at times.
No chanceI see that Nigel Farage has left LBC with immediate effect. Can't abide him myself.
Let's hope James O'Brien is next for the chop.
Mods - can you move this thread to the Politics sub forum - I posted it in the wrong place.
Ive listened to both at times but if im honest i found both to be too extreme. JOB often comes across quite as extremely rude and condescending. I much prefer Nick Ferrari myself.I think the strength of LBC is that it is a space where both Farage and O'Brien have a platform.
