Nicely put, though I rate GB News particularly for its investigative journalism.

Of course not. I'm not at all happy about the people who complain to Ofcom just because they don't like GB News.

Doesn't need an example. Watch GB News and you'll notice their investigations.

One of their most notable, was the filmed goings on in the Channel on the migrant boats.

I had sympathy for Fox, after QT. He did nothing wrong and I agreed with him.

But I think, he's gone so far down a rabbit hole, I fear for his mental state.

There was a way after QT, that he could have held on to his view and ride the pile on and attempted cancellation and possibly come out the other side still intact.

But he gone full Toto.

There seems to an increasing amount of mad bonkers, conspiracy theory nutters about (anybody else noticed?)
It started in the US and has spread over here. Its all social media , promoting yourself cobblers, and the gullible fall for it. Gives themselves a purpose and identity when they had none. Not sure what the solution is. People don't like being called stupid. Some of GB news' output is a symptom.

Re: GB News / Talk TV

A good article here on how GB News could be bad news for the Conservative Party.
Quote:
Good morning. How will GB News change British politics? That’s one of the most frequent questions I get via email.

A good way to think about it, I think, is that at present the UK has one dominant party of government, the Conservatives, which wins most elections and which, for the most part, has only lost office because of a coming together of exceptional circumstances. Its main opponent, the Labour party, is an occasional party of government.

So one way that GB News could change politics is by changing the internal passions and thoughts of the Tory party, the dominant party. But the other way it could do it is by turning the Conservative party from the dominant party to an occasional one. Some more thoughts on that below.

As George Parker and Daniel Thomas explain in their excellent piece on the broadcaster:

Conservative MPs said they sometimes received “cranky” emails from party members. “You’ll ask where did they hear this and they’ll say: ‘GB News’,” said one MP. The party is having an internal conversation formed outside the traditional media landscape. A survey by the ConservativeHome activists’ blog in January found that 57 per cent of Tory members said they regularly watched GB News, compared with 60 per cent who watched the BBC, the behemoth that traditionally dominates the news landscape.
