From the man who defends the BBC? It must be so hard for people like you when someone has the audacity to start a TV channel which actually tells the truth. It's fine to like GB News but at least be honest about what it is. "GB News have paid Conservative MPs more than £660,000 in appearance fees and salaries since it launched, against just £1100 to Labour MPs." It's a Tory broadcasting channel, where often you have a host Tory MP interview their guest Tory MP about Tory policies.

At least they stand on their own feet and are not propped up money extorted from people who disagree with their views.

They should call it ToryTV, but who would watch it, that's why they had to have a fake news title, just like they are. A tory knacker's yard of failed tory politicians. Owned by a hedge fund how surprising, is that why the 13 Ofcom investigations are already over a year-old, other broadcasters who have to obey the rules, wonder why so? Shabby, dishonest, entitled, it's certainly an accurate representation of tory Britain.

It's a Tory broadcasting channel, where often you have a host Tory MP interview their guest Tory MP about Tory policies. GB news has more diverse political input than any of the other channels. They are constantly having opposing voices as guests and pundits. The BBC and LBC have doubtless paid much more to Labour and left wing presenters as you would expect. What I have highlighted in bold is simply not true.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

As is what most of the left mouthpieces post on here.

We genuinely live in a world where objective truth no longer exists. A statistic is presented showing an overt, significant bias, and you can just reply saying the complete opposite is true, with no need to back that up at all. The politcians, or ex-politicans, with hosting gigs on GB News are as follows; - Jacob Rees Mogg So broad, so diverse! Neither the BBC, nor LBC, have Labour MPs as permanent hosts of their show. OFCOM found GB News breached impartiality rules when two Conservative MPs, Esther McVey and her husband Philip Davies, interviewed the chancellor Jeremy Hunt. Lee Anderson, whilst still serving as a Conservative MP, interviewed the then Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

If you watch it, you know that they get a lot of stick. The Tories have so many divisions now that it would be hard to say what pro Tory looked like.

GB has a range of guests from all sides of politics. It is a right leaning channel where presenters express their opinions which tend to be right leaning. I think the trouble for people like you is that you have been fed a diet of leftism and liberal propaganda for so long that you are now accepting it as neutral. How many presenters on the BBC or ITV are leftist? Do you even know?

I don't watch GB News past links that are posted here. The reason: I don't need my beliefs affirmed by the media; they're affirmed everytime I leave the house and go about my daily business.

I was agreeing with you until the final words. You should have left it at the word "alternative". GB News is most emphatically a Tory mouthpiece, even if not all the Tory Party agree with it.
