We need to talk about GB News | The News Agents

[@christopherward5065]

The problem is that there has been a push to present opinion alongside fact and to debate the two positions as if they were equivalent. This was the point when News started jumping the shark and News programs moved the needle from reporting and exploring to inform to chasing ratings to satisfy shareholders. There is a lack of gravitas and holding to account of people from a regulatory point of view and standards are falling into parody. If OFCOM was able to hold the line with real and legal sanctions we might get our news back. I trained as a broadcast journalist and I am now shocked at how loaded the news is with timid reporting and timid challenges. There seems to be a tendency to protect the status quo even to the detriment of the nation. The fourth estate is colonised by a revolving door support for big businesses and parliament.

Yes and it seems much more obvious in recent times. BBC seem really timid to me recently, not sure if management, editorial direction or perhaps, the fear of presenters & journalists. The kind of relentless attacks by GB News, tabloids & Govt eg. Lineker, Hu Edwards, Fiona Bruce, Laura K - right & left too who feel disappointed. Ofc funding is a big part of it & BBC constantly threatened on licence fee by ministers & rw media. Think they’re in v hard place between a controlling rw Govt and expected new Lab Govt soon. ITV seem much freer in their coverage these days.

Did they see the potential for outrage right from the outset, at the editorial level and rolled with it, or did they see it from the media reaction afterwards?...whichever it is that`s not important, because all this has done is giving them a massive publicity boost and put them firmly in the public eye: sure there will be an inquiry, and some heads might roll, but it is a small price to pay for the reach into the mainstream consciousness they might gain from it....outrage factory indeed.

She also likes to watch Al Jazeera because in her view they cover a lot of world affairs that the BBC and Sky just don’t seem to touch these days. In reality GB News is aimed at the Gillian Duffy type red wall far right voter. It’s a loyal audience who lap up its clearly far right narrative but it’s not mass audience that the BBC, ITV and Sky can pull in.

These 'theories' are often proved right and labels like this are often used to discredit or delegitimize people, so I think you can choose your words more wisely. I really welcome alternative news stations and I also think there should be more, both from the left and the right. More opinions and more views from everyone across the political spectrum. I think news and politics need a radical makeover and this is what makes GB News so desirable. Are they perfect? Is anyone perfect? It's not what's most important.

Laurence Fox & Dan Wootton need to be sacked ! GBN reported

[@philgalpin9284]

GB news, proving what a nasty, petty country England has become. Deep (sad) chuckle from here in France

[@marksimons8861]

22:30 For some reason the KZbin algorithm fills my feed with GB news videos. I am so outraged I almost never turn them on. I am not sure this is the outrage Emily and friends had in mind.

[@robinsanders5541]

I’m surprised ofcom have been allowing them to continue. The having right wing politicians with their own shows on there alone would breach impartiality guidelines. Im slightly right of center and never thought I would agree with pretty much everything the presenters have said. Well done.

[@maejohl]

They have senior Tory MPs on their books. Why are you surprised?

you don’t sound sure to me, you say you right winger, next you be telling me Nah BBC isn’t left wing and there isn’t such think as (Wokeism). GB-News often brought up the W-word.

Aboriginal people already have an advisory board, per head capita are over represented in the Senate. There’s already a lot of tax payer money going to Aboriginals with no receipts of where the money has gone. The Western Australian government tried new legislation not long ago that has been repealed as it caused major issues. People couldn’t plant trees on their own land. It’s not something that will help those that need it. They have an advisory body, don’t let that woman hoodwink you.

I noticed when talktv were discussing this the tagline across the screen was ;hate channel gb news; ,imagine the outrage if that was the bbc

[@tariqjoseph3562]

Problem with gb news is it gives the viewer that wants the ‘truth’ that suits their far right views. Doesn’t matter if they are given the real truth, as they are not watching the news to be educated or for critical thinking, they are merely tuning into what they want to hear. That’s the issue when presenting facts to these kind of people, they will just ignore them, and carry on getting their preferred version on these channels and Murdock media as a whole.

We already live in a world of such distorted reality that the word “ threshold” ceases to have any meaning …

Bit like Ross and Brand their sexist rant , didn't they do well, should of closed BBC. Telling someone you dont want to go to bed with them in such a coarse way you would have thought you were listening to Billy Connolly .

[@billyo54]

The sad thing about GBN is people like Neil Oliver, Michael Potillo and David Starkey, who's programmes I enjoyed on BBC has revealed themselves to be nut cases

[@AnnaHolley-f7y]

Agree with you. I wouldn't call them nut cases, however I think they are loosing it. As they say, don't gave up the day job. 😁👍

[@karimtabrizi376]

Michael portillo? What happened

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Starkey is one of the best historians in the country. Do facts upset you?

Dan Wooten should be sacked and the people in his earpiece all guilty

[@bookie5667]

WRT Australia....I don't understand why you need a referendum to approve the creation of an advisory body. In the UK there's no shortage of advisory bodies tasked with advising the government. None of these bodies required a majority vote by the public. Furthermore the proposed Australian body is ADVISORY which presumably means the government can ignore it's recommendations. Why have a vote on something that's going to have no teeth? Perhaps somebody with more knowledge of the proposal can explain things to me......

[@antonyware9887]

It’s ironic this bunch trying to understand how GBNews has grown viewership. They should look at their centrist, bland, self satisfied smugness.

[@discontentedcitizan6046]

Watch out Emily, Wotton and Fox will be giving you points as to whether either of those want to sleep with you. I like to believe these people learn from their mistakes but i won't be holding my breath on that . How either of these obnoxious brats are given air time is beyond me . This definitely needs calling out every time someone needs to . The lies were allowed to air over brexit before the vote and look where that landed us .

[@williamdeypres1122]

What lies? Stop crying and rejoice. The UK is now signing up to some fabulous trade deals worth trillions as the EU economy declines year on year. You tried to hand over your country to a foreign power but failed. Glad to see Brexit is still annoying all the right people.

[@kallivino8346]

Pretty sure Wooten does not want to sleep with her !
