Is that another more focused onthe messenger and not reading the message?
Amazing how many left wing, anti semitic racist, green nutters watch Channel 4 news.
Some people live in an echo chamber where other narratives are not allowed to intrude.
I stopped watching any news a long time ago. Just give us what's happening without bringing your agendas into it ffs.
I'll need to start buying the TV & Radio guide,I didn't even know Channel 4 did news...
GB for me,it suits me and I couldn't give 2 ****s what others think.
It seems that it's getting harder and harder to spot the #wooshes on here nowadays (although some are surely blindingly obvious ... except to Mauled, TT, and ....). 
Went to college with Jon Snow who spent decades on Channel 4. A good example of a left winger from a privileged background.
I get all my news from X. It’s the cleanest, most unbiased source of news. Pure facts no bullshit, no spin, no propoganda.
And suddenly we learn naive numpties with their heads stuck in the sand watch BBC and Channel 4 News. Who’d have thunk it?
Didn't say you did. Do you automatically associate yourself with the description I gave of Channel 4 News viewers?
I know the following is teaching grandma to suck eggs for some, but I think it's fair to say there's some on here who don't know (or choose not to). If you read one newspaper and watch only 1 source of news (be that BBC, C4, or GBN) then you've got literally no chance of having a valid, informed opinion these days.
More than ever before, you really need to regularly take in news, comment, analysis from sources that you know are from differing 'sides'. Be that newspapers, TV news, podcasts, whatever. LBC and TalkRadio being 2 good examples.
I get that if you only devour GBNews, TalkRadio and say the Mail then you'll have an unbalanced view. But that's the same if you only read the Guardian, listen to LBC and The Rest is Politics.
Social media, including taking say contrasting views on X (by sensibly selecting a few sources and using the 'following' option), and similar with YT, are also needed as so much stuff simply misses the mainstream.
That said, as mentioned earlier, I rarely watch GBNews. Maybe I should start
Apologies if that's patronising for some, and I'm not suggesting I'm super informed myself, but it's as clear as day that many (most) people I come across (including some I strongly suspect on here) take news from such limited sources that they really haven't got a clue what they are on about a lot of the time.
