Now hopefully bullshitting Boris' fans will have somewhere to congregate and keep away from the rest of us.

And not that I ever thought I'd say this but good on the Senedd for taking a stand against this crap. Hopefully, this gives them even more motivation to keep it banned there.

So what type of output are you expecting from a known and proven womanising bullshitting law-breaker who barely hides his concern for the common man behind a facade of a Mr Bean-esque gimmick?

I’m fine with your adverse description of Boris.

I’m not fine with your rabid characterisation of GB News. If you don’t watch it, how can you write it off like that. GB News is the antidote to the BBC et al who are steeped in wokery crafty leftism - which is where I suspect you are coming from.

If he’s just another shock jock evangelising about anything and everything probably neither will be true.

l want a news channel that is balanced, impartial and without political interference.

I’m fine with you being fine about my opinion of bullshitting Boris.

I’m not even slightly bothered that you’re not fine with characterisation of that channel. I base my opinion partially on some of the brown-stuff-heads they employ as presenters, also based on a lot of the behind-the-scenes staff they use who i invariably came in to contact with back when I used to work in radio.

Some very unsavoury characters indeed.

GBN is in no way an “antidote” to the BBC which is far more right-leaning than you may imagine. So much of the BS, exaggeration, gas-lighting and misrepresentation from the Tory **** party gets ignored by the BBC.

Now given GBN will have 2 of the most dishonest and corrupt Tory politicians as presenters (bullshitting Boris and JRM) on its books, it will take something miraculous for me to no longer seeing that channel as the waste of time, airwaves and energy that it is.

But hey, for the type of people who like that kind of thing, that’s the kind of thing that they like.

I love it when people get incensed about a tv channel they’ve never watched.

Just the same, in fact exactly the same, as people that demand books they’ve never read to be banned.

Oh you think I’ve never seen any of its output?

How quaint.

Sorry, it read like you wore that particular badge with pride.

Yes, I’m sure you’ve seen the odd Twitter clip to fully form your objective opinion. Any biases displayed purely intentional.

I don’t watch all of it, there are some presenters I find odious and annoying. But I won’t denigrate the whole channel as there is some good content on there I like.

Breakfast, Headliners, Free Speech Nation and, I haven’t watched it yet but, the new John Cleese show looks worth a watch.

“The odd Twitter clip”

Right.

More than that.

I make no secret of the fact I can’t stand JRM or bullshitting Boris. And Farage turning up at the Senedd under the curious assumption that anyone in Wales gives 2 shits about his opinion, the guy is completely delusional.

Add in to the mix the proven bullshitters they have presenting shows, plus the unsavoury staff I’ve personally had contact with.

No you’re right, I’m completely lacking in any objectivity here.

I don’t watch any of them either.

Yes Anne Diamond what a bitch, and Eamonn Holmes is a fascist.

Andrew Doyle is a dick and John Cleese a total knobhead.

Are they? Well you wouldn’t know as you don’t watch their shows.

You can hold your opinions on the persons you mentioned, absolutely, but to wish an entire channel that employs many hundreds of people to be banned………………

Mr K · 28-10-2023, 19:47

Maybe it should rebrand as 'GB Entertainment' rather than pretending to be a news channel?
Watching swivel eyed loon nutter rants is slightly entertaining in short bursts. Don't think Drama+1 has anything to worry about though.

Can still catch Lozza on ITV3 repeats of Lewis.

I appreciate the overreaction but I doubt GB News would lay anyone off if the Senedd continues with its ban.

Oh the latest GB News appointment is being discussed in here. I though it was this thread:

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?t=33712229

Do we know whose funding this channel as it can't be making any money?

Correct in all what you have stated.
