From GB News‘On Tuesday a contributing presenter took the knee live on air and this was an unacceptable breach of our standards. ‘
It's getting beyond parody.

There was fury amongst their viewers who boycotted the channel resulting in 2 shows failing to attract a measurable audience.
Can someone remind me who the snowflakes are?
We demand alternative views are heard but only the ones we like and if those we don't like are aired then we shall boycott the channel. These hard man libertarian types are very sensitive and aren't very tolerant of other peoples rights it would seem.
GB News has said it's a station for free speech and that they don't have a company line on taking the knee? So what standards have they not upheld? Not to upset their audience? Is that the mark of a station that advocates freedom of speech or is against cancel culture?
Quote:GB News stands four square against racism in all its forms. We do not have a company line on taking the knee. Some of our guests have been in favour, some against. All are anti-racist. We have editorial standards that all GB News journalists uphold.
Here's their charter....from the Metro Newspaper
GB News website, it states that the channel stands for ‘the right of every individual to form and share their views’.
The charter also states: ‘We value freedom of expression but not by causing unjustifiable offence or exposing our audience to harm, particularly in regards to our vulnerable viewers.’
