GB News: a thread so you never have to watch it

[Supine]

Because it's being sabotaged, surely.

I’m sure I heard a random drum session go over their vocals a while ago. I was trying to watch the staff in the background react but they seem to have closed the curtains so you can’t see them anymore.

A guy who looks like a moonlighting pimp has just introduced the weather with 'Good Morning Britain', wrong show, oh and its 10.20pm

Right. Enough. I need to get a life.

mrsb wanted to watch a little. It’s Wootton, with (royal biographer) lady Campbell answering ‘your questions’. Although they only come from the other three people onscreen. I have no idea who two are, as they don’t have anything as sensible as captions. But the third is Claire Fox, who is worried this ‘obsessive discussion’ will ruin them all. Which was at least more interesting than the child who asked about whether she’d be sad she missed ascot.

the sound mixing is awful tho not as bad as the vision mixing because that simply doesn’t exist.

oh, lady c has said said Andy isn’t a paedophile. He’s a hebephile.

and we’ve turned off, in the time taken to write this post.

Has it done very much that's highly objectional (compared to other news providers) yet, beyond being rubbish?

Of course it hasn't. Richard Littlejohn can manage worse without actually waking up.

The 'Britishness' is so intense. The ticker tape, the topics of discussion, the presenters, the values (allegedly). How can even the staunchest Gammoniser stand this for too long? It's like staring at the sun, or reading the Sun. If the sun (not The Sun) was an anachronism made out of pointless self perpetuating outrage.

Like the values of most Gammon the light and the heat take several yaers to reach us. GBN was actually founded in a disused Anderson shelter in the fifties. It's just taken that long to reach us

Dan Wootton is a clever and talented journalist. Like it or not.

He's as talented a journalist as you are.

I switched it on briefly to hear Trevor Kavanagh describe Mark Carney (formerly of the Bank of England) as an advocate of Marxism-Leninism.

I also got treated to the bang and crash of presumably a sound man somewhere walking down the stairs, completely drowning out the presenters.

Switched off after that!

 

[krtek a houby]

please explain why?

Not a chance. Drive by poster, only returns to scene of crime some days later.

Well, I’m not a journalist. But I was in Wapping and later in the TMS building after Wapping was decommissioned.

Explain why he's talented or face decommissioning

 

[Calamity1971]

Oh, and you're a Whopping friggin tool.

 

[Spanner]

Usual reason. He asks the questions his employer’s target audience wants the answers to.

And that's clever and talented?

The Co-Op is not a shadow of what it was.

Not since they sacked that vicar

When I say “I was there”, I didn’t mean I walked my dog past the office one day. I worked there.

 

[Spanner]

And that's clever and talented?

Yes, of course.

 

[krtek a houby]

Yes, of course.

You're the target audience, then?

 

[Spanner]

You're the target audience, then?

God, no. I’m just an insider who admires his talent

 

[Spanner]

Oh, and you're a Whopping friggin tool.

I can see why you would think that. And you’re probably right. But maybe give me a chance to redeem myself in your thoughts?

Not at all. Please show me where I did that?
