That was where the news impartiality had died in the UK. GB News: Right Wing Opinionated News Network. UK version of Fox News. No wonder newspapers are mostly Tory supporting newspaper. The Sun, The Telegraph, Daily Express, Daily Mail.
At least there is no UKTV (Rupert Murdoch proposed news channel). Given GB News is not Murdoch owned. But still, having a opinionated news channel in the UK is awkwardly new for us the British. Look, we have variety of news channels (particularly UK news channels: Sky News, BBC News. Even ITV News & Channel 4 News which two are not 24 hours News channels & international news channels like CNN, Al Jazzera, France 24, Bloomberg, Euronews, CNBC, etc). Yet having a opinionated news channel like GB News is something that it will be controversial. Not long ago, Fox News used to be broadcasted here in the UK until it was pulled off in 2017. Due to low viewership & after the 2016 US election victory of Donald Trump. inews.co.uk
To be honest, I was relieved. Fox News (Murdoch owned news channel) no longer being broadcasted in the UK. That’s where the format of US Conservative opinionated News Channel is nothing like other news channels that doesn’t give opinions. Other than to present the news & the facts. Fox News is not “fair” and “balanced”. Don’t even believe that. It is the same news channel that Donald Trump (ex US President) watches & plenty of guests like Nigel Farage gets to be on it.
Back to GB News. We the UK now already have Fox News style Conservative opinionated news.
After the launch, so many controversies have happened. Everything from many advertisers boycotting to GB News presenter (Dan Wootton) inciting violence and intimidation. Which it received nearly 400 complaints and Ofcom won’t investigate unfortunately. google.co.uk google.co.uk
Also the recent controversy of sacking GB News presenter for taking a knee against racism for “breaching standards”. google.co.uk Man, I thought they (GB News) claim that they are anti woke & against cancel culture. I see lies, hypocrisy and double standards of GB News. Now Farage is the new news presenter of the news channel that is losing TV viewers. independent.co.uk
The way this is going, they’ll be out of business if they (the news channel) continue to struggle. Knowing that they won’t be the popular news channels like the likes of BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & Sky. Even if there are appeared to more guests who is pro Tory & appears on Sky & BBC, you’ll never find any news presenter who is opinionated or to have a political bias. With GB News, it is a political bias. Example: they are against lockdown, they are pro Brexit & pro Tory (& other rightwing parties). Which I am not very surprised about it. Last thing the country the United Kingdom needs is polarisation & division which nobody wants. Especially after the 5 years of division on Brexit.
So I am glad that I have not watched GB News. Even if I had seen it, I would never liked it.
Watch the TLDR News’s video on YouTube for more information of the failure of GB News.
Not a good start for the new British news channel. Crappy news channel. Right from the start. Not so much popular now. Like I said, If they continue to struggle, they will be out of business & having it to be turned off broadcasting in the UK like Fox News 4 years ago. No wonder they (GB News) don’t want to be compared to Fox News.
GB News: What a mess
