For me GBnews is better than the others. It has a mixed bag of opinions and they let people speak without all the Nagga/Burley but ins. It had its problems at the start but it's slick now ( bar the odd sound issue). Silly lefties slating it before it went live... The same ones that troll Twitter with ‘ Brexit disaster’ ‘corrupt tories’. They need to get a life.
Only one I have been disappointed with is Michelle Dewberry who is hopeless and her voice is annoying. Other than that it has some good content.

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.

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

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

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 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'.

Harold Shipman was a good GP. None of us are perfect.

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.
