I don't think it Should be shut down but they been investigated numourse time by ofgem and found guilty of Bias.
Think they should be heavily fined until out of existence if there keep breaking the Rules.

It is absolutely appalling that GB News should have MP's as presenters - what on earth were they thinking?..  |

Did I not do a thread about this months ago warning GB News had better watch out? Well it has come to pass.
The dumb asses can't understand the regs.

The MPs will need a job to go to after the election because they can't live off Universal Credit. They are just getting in early. Not their fault.

Doesn't surprise me. Farage was first de-banked. Now, as an "ex-politician" his own show gets more figures than Sky and BBC, but according to the media establishment this isn't good for democracy. Welcome to Soviet Britain! |

I don't think it Should be shut down but they been investigated numourse time by ofgem and found guilty of Bias. Think they should be heavily fined until out of existence if there keep breaking the Rules. I agree with the regs. The idea is that if you are a broadcaster and say this is the news, it should work like the old trades description act, as per, people should understand the meaning of the news is a report on current events. A report on current events is not a political broadcast. You can do a political broadcast and spend an hour interviewing an MP if you want, but you can't call it the news. If we could call anything what we liked and sell it, the buying public would be ripped off. They would distrust the news and then that bad rep would impinge on those who were doing a proper job of it. Now to make matters worse they attack the regulators, as per take some holier than thou righteous position that makes then look even worse. They don't get the very Christian, and also very British idea that if you want to topple the opposition, you concentrate on setting the example yourself, so the other people look bad because you are looking better. they can't criticise the BBC for bias if they are worse themselves.
One thing which I personally have a gripe about is when they do the news they will not report anything that is apolitical and unrelated to their political themes. For example a quality paper will often carry numerous industrial reports. You never see that on GB News because it is not political issue. It might be fantastic industrial news and affect a lot of people, but they really don't have anyone actually doing a neutral job finding out what goes on in the country on a day to day basis. It's all political gossip.

I don't see any problem with having politicians as presenters because politicians are not alone in having political opinions - most people have them. And most of the BBC presenters/commentators have political views which are fairly obvious when they open their mouth. What about Gary Lineker for example? What about the BBC coverage of the war in Gaza? Jeremy Bowen is obviously biased against the Jews - when Hamas bombed a hospital he said that there was no way it was anybody other than Israel responsible and refused to correct it when it became obvious that it was Hamas. And what did Ofcom do? Nothing. Whenever the BBC covers stuff like this they use local people to do the commentary, so the Gazan commentators are onviously pro-Palestine and anti-Jew. No balance at all.
And anyone who has eve watched "Politics Live" on the BBC will know that, while they often apparently balance the Left and Right wing guests the "balance" is destroyed because the Lefty will be someone like Alistair Campbell while the right winger will be some feeble conciliatory politician - and even then the chairperson will make sure that the Right wingers can't say anything that the BBC doesn't approve of.
Yet has the BBC ever been disciplined by Ofcom? I don't think so. GB News (and Talk) seem to bend over backwards to give balance. Whenever they cover illegal immigration they seem to have some greasy Asian "Human Rights" lawyer on spouting nonsense - even though most of their viewers are going to turn off.

Welcome to Soviet Britain! Well, he was de-banked because his account no longer met the requirements for the type of account he held with Coutts. Yes, NatWest were very shoddy in how they handled the publicity of it all, but closing down an account that no longer meets the requirements for that account is hardly de-banking, it is good house-keeping. All The Best |

I guess then, the constant news stories about the death of Vlad the Impaler being dead or dying or that the constant propaganda is the truth and within the rules, sarcasm.

GB News ensures that all guests from the left are treated with respect and courtesy, Sir Jacob Rees Mogg has many people on his show from Stop Oil, leftie councils, leftie universities and they are all given an opportunity to put forward their views without being shouted down.
