Interview for 70 minutes (I think)
Wonder what will be said, don’t blame him at all for being angry and wanting his say.
Watched a few old This morning clips today of Ruth & Eamonn with Rylan etc and it was really entertaining, the squabbles etc, humour and interesting discussions.
It’s actually quite sad it’s all gone to pot now.

I bet GB's ratings must have doubled last night as a result of this thread!

@hattie43, if you want deeper analysis of the news, GB News is not the place to get it.

MySugarBabyLove · 30/05/2023 07:16

Ah, when someone loses the ability to have an inteligent discussion it’s always a good idea to start getting personal about spelling and grammar and such, doesn’t make you look very intelligent that.

Peers Morgan actually did go to GB news but left.

And seriously, accusing anyone of being part of Schofield’s PR because they think Eamon Homes is an arsehole is just another cheap shot which means nothing.

It’s perfectly possible to not agree with what PS has done, as well as to know that Eamon Homes is a twat. Just because he’s taking the moral high ground now and trying to boost his own fandom and the GB news ratings, doesn’t make him a decent person.

As already stated upthread, let’s not forget this is the man who asked a rape survivor whether she’d learned her lesson about not getting a taxi on the night she was raped.

Eamonn Holmes is a disgusting little shit …GB News for 2 hours, holy fuck - says it all.

@hattie43, if you want deeper analysis of the news, GB News is not the place to get it.

There's certainly more on there than I've ever seen on main stream channels , a bigger variety of topics and a wider variety of guests . Dan Wooten I'd never seen until last night and wasn't impressed but some of the daily shows are much less ' tabloid ' . I've learn about the post office scandal , leasehold / cladding / grenfell , the plight of waspi women more than anywhere else .

@MySugarBabyLove Are you deliberately calling him ‘Peers’ just to be obtuse?

User18538754 · 30/05/2023 07:20

I doubt that it will make GB news ratings go up in the long term, people watching will just see what a terrible channel it is. JRM was on before this interview in what looked like a weekly programme, says it all really.

People seem more outraged at how grubby the Mailonline, GB news, EH, DW, PM are.

It's as if the This Morning safeguarding/PR scandal is being made less grubby in comparison and the whistleblowers are the more grubby! 🤔

Are you picking on my spelling because you think it makes you look clever? Hint, it doesn’t.

But for what it’s worth, I use a screenreader and genuinely didn’t realise as it’s pronounced the same regardless of how you spell it.

But here,have a medal.

It can be both though. Because the reality is that this isn’t anything to do with what went on at This Morning, this is to do with certain individuals wanting to big up themselves again and to play the victim.

And let’s be honest here, because of what PS has done anyone who worked on TM could say “I was sacked because of PS” and they would be believed because of the timing, doesn’t matter whether it was true or not.

The rumours about PS need to be investigated by the professionals now, he’s left TM, this shouldn’t be seen as a reason for Eamon Homes and the like to come crawling out the woodwork to play out their personal gripes.

Eamon is looking unhinged, and GB News and the mail had an awful reputation before all of this, so nothing has changed, it’s just been highlighted.

BlastedPimples · 30/05/2023 07:44

All of these people like PS, HW and their critics strike me as unpleasant tbh. Apart from Rylan.

GoOnHoliday · 30/05/2023 07:46

EH cheated on his wife, EH is financially mean, EH is a bigot, I don't like EH, EH has views I don't agree with, so let's ignore the imperfect whistleblower, he isn't like us, we don't like him?

GladysHeeler · 30/05/2023 07:49

I think I'll look for a job where the even the people at the bottom of the organisation get a taxi sent for them to take them to work every day.

User18538754 · 30/05/2023 07:50

Stuff like this should be done under a proper investigation if it is needed because of peoples suspicions, not some grubby TV interview with people on some panel screeching she's a bitch

roxyro · 30/05/2023 07:52

All this nonsense about Eamonn being a crap presenter because he doesn’t hold the ‘right’ political views. Get over yourselves. He’s a very good broadcaster. Don’t care for Dan Wootton or his tawdry show but GB News is fine and rather refreshing. At least they have people on with differing viewpoints and allow them to speak.

GoOnHoliday · 30/05/2023 07:54

To get a proper investigation we normally have media and public pressure.

There was a petition from the public when QueGate happened, is there one for a safeguarding review of influencers and the crisis management/public relations sector on TV/social media?

Eamonn is a self-serving rat. He hasn't spared a thought for the young man in question in this - how does he think he feels about having the likes of Eamonn and Dan Wootton discussing him for their own little gleeful revenge project.
They're all as bad as one another - Schofield, Wootton, Holmes - funny how Eamonn keeps calling PS a narcissist, but can't see the same trait in himself (like a true narc). Eamonn should be careful -GB News is riding a zeitgeist and has zero longevity, but Eamonn (like Philip) is going to make himself unemployable elsewhere.
Also he keeps swinging between "I couldn't have done anything, I knew nothing " to "I know everything listen to me! "
Rylan and Dr Ranj have handled this the best - simple, singular comments making it clear where they stand but without stooping to the level of the odious Dan Wootton.

I'm not sure I thought the same I'm a Labour supporter I used to listen to LBC in the car but it's gotten so mundane rehashing the same stuff. GB news is at least bonkers and entertaining I think it's here to stay.

Absolutely agree with this.

I found it hard to watch, I am disgusted by what Schofield has done but Eamonn came across as unhinged he was so vengeful.

They were like vultures.

Journo's need to let it go now and let the official investigation deal with it. I really do fear another Caroline Flack situation. For both PS and the young man.

WithSpoons · 30/05/2023 07:57

It's all unsavoury.

The main news story is that ITV covered up a sordid and exploitative affair and accepts a culture of bullying because of ratings. The image projected by H&P was wholesome, light, bubbly and kind but the reality is a sordid machiavellian sex, drugs and bullying culture. It's fake and it's exploitative and possibly illegal (drugs and maybe under age grooming).

I don't personally think they can drag the show on for much longer. The image is destroyed. Which advertisers will want to continue? Which celebs would want to be involved?

Swrigh1234 · 30/05/2023 07:57

To those criticizing GB news, try it. You might learn something about people like Kathleen Stock. BBC, on the other hand, was comparing her to Oswald Moseley and Enoch Powell this morning on the Today Program. That’s the level of propaganda and misogyny being spouted by the mainstream nowadays.

GoOnHoliday · 30/05/2023 08:00

Let's not bother safeguarding then, the whistleblower is a bigot, a bigot I don't agree with?

A bigot has two meanings

What's the history between Kim and Holly?

I've never before heard someone being called a bitch live on TV!

I did try it, that must have been their flagship programme last night, fortunately I recorded it so could skip most. Before it was a programme hosted by JRM...

Maddy70 · 30/05/2023 08:05

Eamon is so full of himself and way worse since he's been on GB news. It's so right Wing and biased

Thoroughly dislike EA but I agree that doesn't necessarily make what he is saying untrue.

But soz ain't never going to watch a channel that Jacob Rees Mogg or Lawrence Fox lead on. Please. And let's face it, if they could be MSM they would.

It's only because enough ordinary people think they are sh*te that they're not " MSM".
