not watched it before. Quite enjoyed how this evening guy has distinct segments - no one needs Jeffrey Archer as a serious commentator but that was a light, mostly retrospective. Lionel Shriver is always value. I like the range of perspectives - the guy from Triganometory and Andrew Doyle are decent.

I don't see a lot of tv but turning over these topics for a good length of time kind of works for me. Not seen any BBC-grade gatekeeping so far.

Not seen any BBC-grade gatekeeping so far.

The BBC tend to try and avoid having guests on who defend Jeffrey Epstein, even with their history with Saville etc.

 

[Supine]

I really think people should stop watching and let the thread die. Publicity is the air they breathe.

That principle could be applied to a lot of threads.

I think it's only right that you delete or apologise for your ableist comment. If you had any decency at all that's what you would do. The fact that you didn't atleast delete it when pulled up on it says much about you.

You can think what you like, mate.

Hi marty1

Wrong. Different person. Sorry.

Surely everyone understands by now Scots nationalism is cool and hip, while English nationalism is snarly and bigoted.

That English nationalists tend to object to the aspirations of Scottish nationalists indicates slightly shaky intellectual foundations.

Would they rather they sang the national anthem with it's anti-scottish sentiment?

A great summary from the Mirror.

As for the studios, where do I start? The interview studio appears to have been set up inside a sound-proofed shipping container, which makes the head-to-head chats look like a strange cross between the interrogations on SAS: Who Dares Wins and a job interview at an Amazon warehouse.

For the main studio, GBN appears to have taken over a fancy coffee shop (Central Berk?) and left a load of random mugs strewn around the place (NB. I’m talking about the drinking vessels, not the presenters).

While sympathising with the poor GBN shipmates, I must admit the cock-ups and calamities have made for brilliant entertainment in between the football matches.

Had the finest comedy minds in Britain been charged with creating a sitcom based on the ill-fated launch of a news channel they would have struggled to write and stage something this consistently hilarious.

And that was before the viewers started calling in with silly made-up names, and the form tutors – sorry, presenters – started admonishing them live on air.

If only GBN could stay exactly like this, I would carry on watching it forever.

'GB News' calamities have been brilliant - if only it could stay like this'

GB News aired for the first time on Sunday - and the figures have started to drop since the launch

It's almost like MSM don't want thecompetition.

Having said that Andrew Neil's little corner looks a bit like a repainted Santander customer service area.

fuck off Marty1

 

[brogdale]

Example?

That curt response could come across as a little...er...defensive?

That said, the example of English nationalism rejecting Scottish aspirations that has recently been discussed in the Batley & Spen by-election thread, was this:

Party's anti-Indyref slogan rejected as "offensive"

The founder, Neil Humphrey stood as "Corbyn Anti" in the 2016 B&S by-election following the murder of the previous incumbent at the hands of a fascist nationalist.

GBNews is of course not MSM - despite being on every freeview channel and hosted by people who have been paid several hundred grand a year by the MSM for the last several decades.


Absolute outsider channel.
