Maybe you don't allow mirrors in your house. I can understand why. No, don't read that Labour rag.

No, don't read that Labour rag. Again, no surprise. You don't do balance, do you? Just remember, those who lean permanently to the right have a tendency to fall over.

It seems GB News have tripped up over their determination to be different. Why am I not surprised anyone else has yet commented on this? If you present yourself as a reliable broadcaster then you need to behave like one, and make sure that what is said can be trusted. When your viewers tend to be the kind of people who post here, who are prone to use alternative "news" sources, and to believe conspiracy theories, it is very important that any regular media outlet doesn't spread misinformation. In view of some recent comments in other threads this is especially pertinent at the moment. A couple of lines from the link makes the point very well:- "It can be easy - and tempting - to cherry-pick real stats in a way that supports what we already believe. Now Ofcom seems to be emphasising that, to borrow a phrase, we're all entitled to our own opinion but not to our own facts."
they are an 'alternative' news channel but i notice that they often get questions in early from the PM after a briefing and BBC Question Time has had quite a few of their presenters on too. The gaslighting is well under way, however, wait for the BBC is left leaning comments.

Read a real "left-leaning" commentary, and they will tell you that the BBC is a right-leaning establishment mouthpiece. What matters is not what you, or I think about the BBC's reporting of the event. It's what Ofcom think and do.

I did tune in in fairness but I found it nauseating, a sort of toryboy fox news main duty to confirm their prejudices. Which are plentiful. Old tories never die, they just fade away. Hardly Tory. The government gets roasted regularly. The difference between GB News and the BBC and ITNs of this world is that it isn't bound by corporate wokery.

It's all just political gainsay.

The difference is that it is appealing to a very specific audience. The BBC is bound by its charter. ITV is bound by its need to maximise advertising revenue, and the need to maintain editorial standards to stay in business. So though is GB News. They are the only ones though being cited as having broken them.

GB News has been the subject of a focused attack by Leftists who can't stand opposing views. It's the usual pattern.

GB News has been the subject of a focused attack by Leftists who can't stand opposing views. It's the usual pattern. Of course, they have. When the BBC is pulled up, it listens and responds. It also gets threads here chortling with delight. It's GB News under today's spotlight. Maybe you would like to address that rather than resort to whataboutery? It's not the majority. No-one in their right-mind thinks that it is. Only those whose minds are on the right do. That GB News gets criticised by others is hardly surprising, or unreasonable. It does plenty itself. No-one objects to opposing views, so long as they can point out where they go wrong.
