AIBU to ask your opinion of GB News?

[GingerCream45]

A friend recommended it. Have listened a few times. Just seemed to be endless discussions about stopping the small boats. Presumably this is a hard right leaning Station?

It’s an audio visual take on Daily Mail.

It is very Pro Putin channel.

I've listened to bits and especially enjoyed Andrew Doyle's free speech nation. But I am a complete idiot though, have only managed to obtain doctorate level in education and have a crappy job teaching at a RG university.

It’s not news - it’s right wing trash!

@JassyRadlett Thanks v much for the link

I'm an avid watcher and not thick at all. However I don't go around pretending it's unbiased or a news channel.

Have people really not heard of it? Full of nasty, right-wing batshittery and I would be wary of anyone who watches it.

Shouldn’t be allowed the word “news” in the name as it’s just nasty opinions.

🤣🤣🤣 You probably read the Mail and think immigrants are going to steal your house.

Fox News is right wing talk radio with pictures. GB News was created to be the U.K. equivalent. It’s not news, it’s comment and opinion.

Sounds like you are right at home with their bigotry.

@anybloodyname You seem to be mixing good morning britain with gb news.
For those of you ridiculing others for watching - always know your enemy/what people are thinking. This programme, and other media content, reflect a section of our society, whether you agree with their right-wing mania or not.
Best to know who the government are talking to and trying to get on side!

People who watch GB news are just a bit thick really.

It isn’t necessary to watch that shite to know their views. These people who claim they have no voice have a big platform across social media and never bloody shut up.

Nope.
They pick up the stories that the traditional 'left wing' media, won't touch.
Like free speech. And feminism.
Life long vegan leftie, here. Veteran of the punk/squatting/anti Apartheid/Anti Public Order/pro gay rights scenes.
I watch it.

I actually did some research in the audience, their opinions, intellect, their malleability and empathy levels.

The conclusion I came to after hours of research were that the audience is predominantly made up of thick, racist, small minded cunts.

It's right wing nonsense
It's should be shut down by ofcom

It's basically for racist right wing bigots

You are a very confused person.

Or Dame Jenni Murray, or Raquel Rosario, or Kathleen Stock or Megan Murphy or Vaishnavi Sundar etc etc etc.

I'm not - you've misunderstood.
Having spent my life protesting, hunt sabbing, lesbianing etc, I've become disillusioned with the 'left wing, liberal' media. I don't love the fact that GBNews is more diverse, more tolerant, but it is what it is.

I think it gives a good indication of who to avoid if anyone you know watches it.

I mean I'm all for free speech it's just thick racist speech I'm not too keen on.

I suppose it's easier to dismiss anything outside of your own echo chamber, than it is to actually listen.
Dame Jenni Murray is not a Nazi. Honestly. Neither are any of the other feminists who've been given a platform on GB News.

After people recommended it in here I checked it out. I saw someone viciously taking Jacob Rees mogg down on a debate section and he took it.
I've also seen and enjoyed many other "robust" debates on there.
It's quite lively compared to normal channels and more magazine like and definitely freer.

As with other news channels I ignore stuff I don't like but yes one can't deny its boat heavy.

Surely this applies to many outlets - the validation part

Op I haven’t watched it but don’t mind it exists, some other outlets are too comfortable with their bias

At its milder end GB “news” offers a right leaning opinion, and allows debate but is always clear where its views lie. It saw a gap for a right leaning opinion led broadcast station and had it stuck to offering a different view while being fair and transparent, I’d say it has its place

at its worst it’s a blatant platform for hate, massively biased, shows no respect for broadcasting rules and is simply a mouthpiece for the worst of the modern Conservative Party and other, connected, groups.

it could have been a reasonable voice for those who feel other media doesn’t speak to them. It’s not. It’s largely awful with moments of reasonableness

If I have to align myself with right wing bigots then I'll give that side of feminism a miss.
