Incredibly odd to not like the EU, criticise the reaction to Covid and not be in support of Trans issues.

Red and Blue Army!

They are by no means the oddest. Describing Brussels as the jihadist capital of Europe isn’t normal. Nor is the idea of deliberately infecting people with Covid to create herd immunity. Rather taint her other ideas.

You keep mentioning how well GBNews is doing in ratings and viewing figures - do you have a source for that, because the data I've seen certainly doesn't support that idea.

The rest of the paranoia kind of crumbles apart if the reality is that no one watches the sh*t anyway.

More broadly, if you're going to provide a platform nearly exclusively for grifters, conspiracy peddlers and people who just like being controversial and offensive, I don't think it's that surprising that model ends up with considerably more complaints than channels who don't allow such unserious people on their shows.

It's also not remotely surprising that advertisers don't want association with such a network. What serious company is going to advertise on a platform where people like Fox can spit the bile he does? It's beyond delusional to think they would.

The idea this is some plucky little start-up trying to battle the establishment is just laughable - it's backed by tens of millions of hedge fund money and it's hosts are exclusively either Tory MPs or mainstream s*** talkers that have been poached from the very establishment they're so opposed to.

It remains a constant source of amazement to me that anyone can look at the media in this company and in all seriousness try to claim that it's the right who are hard done by.

With respect I get a little tired of people asking me to do the research for them.

I've previously been asked for this exact same question and provided the figures previously. You have seen data suggesting the opposite, perhaps that's data with an agenda....perhaps the link I'll provide for you is the same.

Regardless, the channel seems to be doing well for its situation and amount of agendaed attacks.

The rest of your post pretty much sums up that you don't like the political perspective of GBNews. Really? Well, welcome to the party pal.

You are probably in the same place I am, just with politics on the opposite end. GBNews is largely cucked conservativism and people better representing people like me Mark Steyn for example was 'offed'.

No doubt you regard the liberal broadcasters on traditional channels as failed representatives of your opinions as well.....Just less imperfect.

However, probably unlike you, I would support you having a channel that better reflected the left as its base actually is, simply because I believe that decentralization is better than corporate/state control of media (neo liberal or otherwise)...but that should cut both left and right ways.

As for your pearl clutching and presentation of the advertising situation as organic....sorry if you are being serious I find that naive and ridiculous but you are entitled to your view.

I see that Farage is attending the Conservative Party Conference in his GB News presenter capacity and getting cosy with Truss and all the others on the right.

This looks pretty clearly to be positioning for the post-election situation, which could go several ways.

My preference is the right of the Tories accept there is no place for them in the modern Party and they split and join Reform, with Farage either leading them or being their cheerleader at GB News.

However I also see the possibility of Truss standing again for Party leader after a humiliating defeat and the membership, bless them, voting for her with Farage encouraging them. That would, I think, signal the final death knell of the Party as a major player and open the door to PR and coalition government.
