GB News

[Kit Kat Chunky]

So right wing privately educated Conservative Billionaire Chancellor who married into a billionaire family, discusses economics followed by right wing Conservative former Chancellor Portillo and right wing political editor for GB News discussing economics! I can hear a very, very loud and continuous echo! Good to see a healthy balanced panel.

So, you would prefer a chap with 3 CSEs and a cycling proficiency badge who and is skint through imprudence to be chancellor?
What has his wife got to do with it? I am certain you haven’t seen the interviews. How about you take your blinkers and ear mufflers off. (For the purpose of research, I YouTubed it last night; more later, even though I’m on my hols at present)
Politics of envy from you as usual.

Any answers yet?

Politics of envy? Arf anymore Tory tropes you’d like to use? It’s a right wing ‘News’ channel with right wing guests talking about the economy and you think that’s a media platform to tune into for a balanced opinion 

Another question for you to ignore: did you watch the interviews? I very much doubt it. Glad to see you get your balanced opinions from just your beloved Guardian / Angry Voice.
 
So, you think GB News is a far right “Echo Chamber”; lets look at some of the main presenters.
 
Andrew Niel Under Neil's editorship, The Sunday Times opposed the poll tax. Neil advocated the abolition of both the preference for males in the law of succession and of the exclusion of Catholics from the throne. Called for the Queen to pay income tax and advocated a scaled-down monarchy that would not be class-based but which would be "an institution with close links to all classes
In 2019, Neil interviewed Ben Shapiro, an American conservative commentator.. Shapiro was promoting his book, The Right Side of History, Shapiro took offence to the questioning, accusing Neil of having a left-leaning bias. Neil spoke in favour of establishing a republic. However, when asked in 2021 by the BBC if he was still a republican, he said, "Not really."

In 1992, following graduation, Halligan joined his former university tutor Robert Skidelsky at The Social Market Foundation, the Westminster-based think tank. He later worked at the International Food Policy Research Institute and in the Fiscal Affairs Department at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, as a research economist.
Halligan joined the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics (not well know for its Right Wing leanings) and moved to Moscow. Together with other economists from LSE, Oxford and Harvard, he co-founded Russian Economic Trends, April 2020, he called for the Government to build more social housing.

Neil Oliver a British television presenter, archaeologist, conservationist and author. He is Anti Lockdown.
 
Alastair Stewart an English journalist and newscaster. Formerly presenting for ITV News.  He has won the Royal Television Society's News Presenter of the Year award twice.
 
None of these seem to be contenders for inclusion in an Ultra-Right Wing, “Echo chamber”  “Hate filled” channel to me.  
 
Just found and watched the interview with Rishi Sunak, didn’t seem to me as though Neil gave him an easy ride. The following Portillo and HalIigan section was hardly fawning over the government so it didn’t look ‘ultra-right wing’ to me. I wonder how many of the critics have actually watched GB news. (They certainly haven’t given it much of a chance) There was at least one on here who was giving it dogs abuse weeks before it started broadcasting. (weren't you M. Hardballs)

Some of the companies who were alleged to have pulled their advertising are now back peddling or even denying they did so. Octopus energy spokesperson watched the Sunak interview and decided there was no bias.

I don’t know why I’m surprised that some base their opinion on what the Twaterati tell them to think. ( I know; Am I new here) Once, just once, it would be refreshing if some people actually waited to get the full picture before launching into commenting. I don’t know what the channel is going to be like, and I doubt I’ll watch it but I’ll not criticise it until it’s had a good few months broadcasting.
 
So, Dekka baby, would you prefer the chancellor to be uneducated and preferably skint? Another unanswered question I 

Glad you’re enjoying your holiday. GB News is a right of centre broadcaster and no amount of Googling Wikipedia or other sources changes that. I am enjoying watching the never ending bloopers though.

This review sums the station up... it’s not from GB though

I saw the opening night, and it was too right wing, even for me !!
