GB News

This is a new news channel, which will soon be launched in this country, the man behind the new news channel is Andrew Neil, who I have mixed views about.

I hope it's not crap.

If it's "anti woke" it'll do for me.

TTS

Looking at the calibre of the presenters already signed up by Andrew Neil it will knock both Sky and the BBC.

Well I hope it shakes Sky and the BBC up.

I went off Andrew Neil when he was doing the nightly interviews during the General Election campaign, which was when Boris refused to go on his show.

During that time there was a lot of uncertainty going on, because the remainers were calling for another referendum, and supposedly impartial politicians, who said they were respecting the wishes of the people, and were implementing Brexit, were actually indulging in some very duplicitous behaviour.

For those reasons it was important to hear what the politicians had to say, but Andrew Neil who I normally like, would start offevery interview off with a nasty tirade against whoever he was interviewing, and it just seemed to take the interview off in a direction of blame, and defence, instead of getting information out of the politician, about what they were going to do about Brexit, I felt that he should have done more talking and less shouting.

I went off Andrew Marr prior to that, when in one interview with Boris, when the whole Brexit thing was up in the air, when Boris had just been elected Conservative Leader, and we were still wondering if another referendum would be called, Boris had a row with his partner, and their neighbour, who just happened to be a practising Socialist, called the police, and then called the newspapers (scumbag) and in the fall-out to that, in an half an hour long interview, Andrew Marr spent half of that interview trying to get Boris to talk about his row with Carrie, when the country need to know what his policies were, not whether he was going to buy Carrie a new settee.

I liked Andrew, but always thought he represented a Centre-Right view. I'm comfortable with that.

He seems, however, to have recruited a crew more Alt-Right/Extreme Right, or in some cases downright Fascist.

Be interesting to see what the result of this is going to be!

Its potential as a source of news will be severely undermined if it apes Fox, and becomes a channel serving as a vehicle for propaganda, posing as a news source.

Colin Brazier, 23 years as a Sky presenter.
His wife Rebecca Hutson, head of video at Reach newspaper group.
Michelle Dewbury.
Liam Halligan, highly regarded economics correspondent.
Inaya Folarin Imaninaya, freelance journalist.
Tom Harwood, writes for the Telegraph and
Guido Fawkes.
Darren McCaffrey,had 10 years at Sky currently political editor of Euronews. He will be the political editor at GB news.
Alex Philips, she hosts a show on Talk Radio, ex BBC and ITV.
Dan Wootton, executive editor of the Sun and a Talk radio drivetime presenter.

I can’t see any fascists or extreme right individuals in the list above. It looks a well balanced and talented crew.

It looks like a good line up, and on the BBC News, Media Show, there was a lengthy interview with Andrew Neil about GB News, which was good

According to Dan Wooten on GB News, Tonker is reet about Covid-19

And am not joking

Just watched GB News Dan Wooten's show.
What a difference to Sky and BBC.
Chalk and Cheese.
I believe that protesters are already trying to get it censored / defunded.

Just had a peek for the last half hour 9am - 9.30...1st thing I saw was John Barnes bleating about blm and taking the knee.
It appears to be out of sync... Slight delay in lip movements and sound which is annoying... A bit plastic production... Sound quality not good... Lighting not much better. May be teething troubles... Will give it a chance to improve..... But so far Not impressed.

You are right about the production problems, sound out of sync, and the picture is crap an all, but if they get that fixed I personally think that the sets they have are OK, but it is the content I am interested in, and I have not watched it today, but last night Dan Wooten and his guests gave a very different take on things, which I found to be refreshing, but on the Covid thing I disagree with him, with infections rising at the rate they are, I think that to remove all existing restrictions would be 'asking' for trouble, and so what if folk have to postpone their weddings etc, it is better to do that, than die.

I agree TTS.. teething troubles I hope.... Will give it a fair crack of the whip.... Obviously the more funding they get the better the quality all round. Just give us honest and fair.. Unbiased journalism.

The technical glitches on this channel are so bad, that watching it is akin to watching an episode of Alan Partridge

The comment from GB made me smile. I'm trying to imagine someone with a toffee nose and stiff upper lip trying to read the news. Difficult I should think.

There is an new show on there now, that Doobs woman who's awreet, and she has been presenting her show from 6.00pm to 8.00pm every weekday, but she has now been cut to just the one hour between 6.00pm and 7.00pm and from 7.00pm to 8.00pm every weekday night it is Nigel Farage who is dooing a show now

He is on every Sunday morning too. 10.am to 12.00 noon

This new TV news channel has really grown on me now, after being a bit disappointed with it at first, Nigel Farage has his own show on at 7.00pm every night, and he seems to have made the TV station, along with other good journalists

LINK

This channel continues for me to get better and better, and that is not because I agree with everything the presenters say on it, in fact it is far from that, I like Farage, but I don't agree with a lot of what he says, and the same for all of the other presenters, but they talk and talk and talk, about everything

I agree with you Tommy it’s seems to give a balanced view

who in their right mind wants to watch a pillock like farage . his mouth is wider than a bacco pouch .

Balanced view it was never meant to give a balanced view!! You can say it's your view... Andrew Neil left GB news because it was going to far right ....... Neil called his decision to lead the channel the "single biggest mistake" of his career, adding "The mistake was that I put my face on the tin and yet I quickly discovered that I really had no say over what was going into that tin"

GB news is a UKIP tribute band!!

Peter Israel

Have yoo ever watched it ?

Andrew Neil messed them about when they were starting off, he missed shows, and spat the dummy out when they had the production teething troubles at first, and apparently they did not like having to pay for him to travel from his home in Monaco by private jet, to do the show in London.

I expected them to be right wing, but as wizzy says, they do try and keep a balanced view about things, to repeat I don't agree with a lot of what the presenters say, and they say a lot, but some of those presenters who I disliked at first, have really grown on me now

I like it, it is on the side of the people

it,s on the side of the right wing press & ukip whingers.

Whupsy

Yoo amd Fossil, have not watched it have you

I have watched it tts,and like I said it loves UKIP,and I detest Farage,so I prefer the regular news channels.
Some tings are not right if the head man quits.

Fossil

For a start they never mention UKIP, because UKIP has been gone as a significant political force for over five years now, so I know you and Whupsy don't watch it, and I have explained what happened with Andrew Neil.

Farage is on for an hour a day Monday to Thursday, and I don't agree with a lot of what he says.

Fossil
Whupsy
Golden Bear

Yoo three really would vote for a donkey, if it was standing for Labour, wouldn't yoo

who says iv,e not watched it either ? .i would,nt put a pic of ukip on here if i was you as you were lead down the garden path by farrage & his band of fools .

Look Whupsy, yoo and Fossil have shot yourselves in the foot, UKIP is never mentioned on GB News, Nigel Farage left UKIP, and two years later when he could see that folk like yoo Whupsy, were trying to ignore the result of the referendum, he formed the Brexit Party in 2019.

it shows how much he conned you 1stroke & gullibles like you .

Whupsy

Doo yoo know who was one of the first to start off the whole anti EU campaign ?

Well he was one of your lot, a Labour MP, a Robert Kilroy-Silk.

And I bet you didn't like him

TTS I have just watched that Brazier guy and a chap called Wolfe a former UKIP barrister ripping into Angels Rayners northern accent!!
They forgot to remember her honesty,and character and concentrated on her previously calling Johnson scum.
I thought she was being very kind,he is worse than that.
One of the two was UKIP and I think the other probably had the same political origins.
They never mentioned UKIP,they didn’t need to!

Fossil

Will yoo be towd, UKIP has gone.

On about Colin Brazier having a go at Angela Rayner, I found this one LINK

Same thing but written has an article LINK

Tonker should have like it, because GB NEWS does not like the idea of folk being made to have the Covid vaccine, and neither do I

TTS why don’t you take any notice!
I know UKIP is no more,but I said GB news was a Tribute band for them,meaning they have a leaning towards the ideals of said organisation.

Fossil

UKIP became infiltrated by extremists, and that is why folk like Farage left it, and there is no way that GB NEWS has 'extremist' views.

Why don't you watch the bloody thing, instead of guessing.

TTS ,I told you two posts up that I had watched Brazier on GB news

I won’t watch it again,that’s for sure,might try Al Jazeerah

The ad agencies say they are pulling their ads from the channel, at the behest of their customers, who are averse to having their brands associated with the promotion of hate speech and misinformation.

Old news Ena. The campaign group behind it was called in by the regulator and put on notice.

It has been stated again by Rupert Murdoch in the announcement of the competing service he is bringing to the screens.

Ena

Like Gaffer says it is old news, from last summer when the channel was starting, some companies removed their ads, just in case the channel was dodgy

I think the fact that Roopert is launching a rival to GB News, means that GB News must be getting something right

I am just watching John Gaunt on it at the moment, he is throwing a wobbler over Covid vaccines payments

yoo throw a wobbler everytime the name farrage is mentioned .

Just mentioned by Angelos Frangopoulos , GBN's Chief Exec on 'The Media Show,(12-06-2022) on the Beeb, that advertisers are STILL boycotting GB News!(or the Nigel Farage channel as I believe it is commonly known as.)

Gbeebies news I saw it referred to the other day.

Ena Malcup

You and some others on here need to visit some of the area's of our inner cities to see hatred of another race in our country.

Not all one sided as being fed daily by the media, especially by the BBC.

Forget to take your happy pills again this morning codge?

Ena

I watched that Media Show about GB News

LINK

I was surprised to hear that certain advertising agencies were still boycotting GB News, and about Farage, as Angelos Frangopoulos, and by heck that name is a mouthful to say, as he said, which is what I have said on here, Nigel Farage is only on four hours a week, Monday to Thursday between 7pm and 8pm, so how can it be called the Nigel Farage channel ?

I have been watching Talk TV, which is obviously a much better produced TV channel, which is what you would expect from a company such as News Corp, with the wealth and experience they have from broadcast journalism, but I am not keen on the main presenters, Jeremy Kyle is just a performer, he doesn't come across as a serious journalist, he is full of one-liners, and I can't put a name to the rest of them on that channel, but I prefer GB News, to Talk TV.

Watching Talk TV is like reading The Sun.

OC: well said, the hatred of the indigenous people, but they stay.

TTS: do you watch it for the page 3?

No, the last time I read The Sun, was about two years ago, and I don't think there was a page three, and I had picked up the wrong newspaper, I normally read the Daily Mirror

TTS: Oh, had someone torn it out?

I don't know, but I just flicked through it, but I didn't see anything, I don't like The Sun.

if you do not like gb news content do not watch the channel. why pontificate on something that does not agree with you.

Give over watching it most are more biased than bbc or itv not struck on Farage but hes one that keeps it going

I have just been watching Alex Phillips on GBNews, and she was having a chat with Darren McCaffrey about his upcoming show, which is coming from outside of Parliament, and it is on now, and whilst she was talking to him, that big gobbed heckler, who is always outside of Parliament, is giving it loads in the background, and as she concluded the conversation, she said "and good luck in dealing with that gobshite in the background"

They wouldn't say that on the BBC.

Why hello ANNE ,, I am very glad to have made you smile ,i promise i will try to keep on doing so , even with my stiff upper lip & toffee nose ,,,,
GB .

Whupsy

Yoo don't half talk some crap!

GBNews have been slagging off the Tories, for ages now.

i suppose if you want a one-sided veiw on the news then i suppose it,s ideal for you 1stroke . no crap in that .

I don't agree with a lot of what GBNews comes out with, especially the Anti-Vaccine stance they have taken, because a few have died after suffering side effects from the vaccines, but most medications have side effects, and one of my blood medications, states that in extreme cases, taking the drug may be fatal

So of course some folk are going to be adversely affected by the vaccines.

The anti-lockdown stance they also take, gets up me nose, because when covid kicked off in early 2020 a lot of people died from it worldwide, because there were no treatments for it, only for inhaling pure oxygen, and hospital morturies were overflwoing with the dead, and undertakers, were hiring refrigerated containers, to store bodies in, and the crematoriums were operating 24 hours a day, to cremate the dead, in New York they dug mass graves to put the covid victims in, but the lockdown worked, and by July 2020, the pandemic was down to literly there being only a few cases per day, but it was to be nigh on six months before the first vaccines were ready to be given, and when the lockdown was eased in September 2020, the pandemic came back with a vengence.
So ant-lock down, and anti-vaccine folk get right up me nose.

I am pleased to see that you have not totally bought into their manipulativeness.

This is one for Whupsy, Handsomeminer and Fossil.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, is going to be hosting his own show on GBNews LINK
