    Has it moved on from telling old right wingers that they’re victims yet?

    The Tories are corrupt and Brexit is a disaster, by the way.

    Hubbie ( who has similar opinions to me) starting to watch it due to the BBC self promoting strictly on their news programme.

    Got to say it is nowhere near as bad as I thought ( we only watch the 6-9 am news programme, not the later Farage self promoting programme though). They have a fairly wide range of views..some are thought provoking...a young Muslim on Jihadism for example, really made me think. The overall feeling is centre right, but not really that far of centre.

    There was one awful woman presenter, who appeared just a bit thick, but haven't seen her for a while. It is not a slick as the BBC that is true, but I have nothing against it and we are continuing to watch it.

    Ahhh no Beth she is awful. I used to like her when on QT or Papers but she doesn't have that presenter skill that is needed. IMO.

    No Ellers I was agreeing with you..
    She was the awful woman I was referring to as well. No skill as a presenter and seemingly a bit stooopid with some of her questions too.

    GB news is good on news (it is what it says on the tin afterall)...but a bit hopeless on "magazine articles"...lost puppies etc

    As said I don't find it bad at all, and always good to hear other points of views...presented sensibly.

    Talk TV starts up shortly, with Piers Morgan, so there'll be plenty of choice which is as it should be.

    He was when he was editor of the Mirror. Now, his great political love seems to be for himself.

    He was one of the few that had a proper go at holding the government to account over their various Covid ‘mistakes’/outright corruption and ineptitude. Gets a bit weird over our Meghan.

    He also edited the Sun didn't he? He's an opportunist with no political scruples or conscience.

    He did a good unbiased journalistic job in holding the government to account over Covid. Which was of course unfair, because they were 'doing their best'.

    There you go, that wasn't too hard was it?

    If you really lived in my head, I'd kill us both.

    He was New Labour during his Mirror days, but as you say, he's an opportunist. I do think his current position is impartial - he thinks all politicians are inept and that he could do better. I don't know how long Murdoch's new TV station will be able to cope with his ego.

    Wasn't he just in charge of the sun's gossip column
    He only fell out with Meghan when he was no longer able to tap her phones

    Morgan is a Morgan supporter, plays to an audience. Shouting over everyone isn’t really holding anyone to account
