GB News Launch
Britain's newest news channel which launches tonight hopes to rival BBC and Sky
— GB News (@GBNEWS) June 13, 2021
This has been much needed in Britain, hopefully they stay true to their word and actually do some reporting which sadly most news channels no longer do these days as everything just comes in from the Associated Press and they then parrot it. We need more investigative journalism in Britain.
The content so far seems quite good with the show format. The set is a bit dark though, needs lightening up.
“We will not come at every story with the conviction that Britain is always at fault, usually to blame when things go wrong, generally useless. We won't forget what the B stands for in our title.”

Ooo, another channel for me to ignore..
I'm ngl, I get all my news from either 9gag, reddit, or here lmao
I feel like this thread is a piss take of anchorman
I barely watch TV too, any broadcast news I get is from Twitter these days like TalkRadio or LBC.Quote:

Maybe it's just me and my circle, I don't watch TV fullstop... Everything I watch is on demand, such as Disney+, Amazon, Netflix etc... I've become so used to watching things without adverts that it annoys me too much if I ever go and watch something on TV.
@Triz;
That's true but you know I reckon it is kind of sad that as things diversify in the media/entertainment industry, people lose the ability to talk to each other or reference things in common conversation. Like years ago, everyone knew Sir Bruce Forsyth's catchphrases for example because everyone watched his shows... now you can't really say that for many - if any - shows on television. I've noticed with younger kids too, I try and reference common kids shows and some have no idea what I mean by it.
Always nice to have extra options but Dan Wooten and Laurence Fox just ranting about things and spreading fear/lies lol this isn't news this is our equivalent of Fox, a gammon echo chamber of conspiracy theories and forced edginess. It'd be cringeworthy if it weren't so dangerous
You mean you think only one view, the pro-permanent lockdown, pro-Remain, pro-woke view, should be allowed to be aired?Quote:
