Reporting losses of £75 million.

According to Andrew Neil the plan was for GB News to be loss adjusting in year two and breaking even by year three, but in fact year two losses were greater than year one losses.

Are we about to see GB News disappear? Andrew Neil doesn’t think the channel is sustainable and the owners will only pay so much to try to influence people before calling it a day. Maybe most British people aren’t quite as gullible as the channel owners had hoped?"
i imagine no more gullible than those who watch the beeb or sky, none of them are actuall news there just selling you there opinion, and people will watch whatever opinion matches theres

Last i looked, neither BBC News, Sky News, Channel 4 News or ITV News employed former and current Conservative politicians to "interview" former and current Conservative politicians with zero pushback on policy statements.

Ergo - the aforementioned news channels are (on the whole) significantly less partisan than GB News and GB News needed people to be influenced by their content - but not enough people are interested in Conservative ideology - see current opinion polls.

Their losses are unsustainable and whatever their “declared” viewing figures might be, advertisers are not paying to advertise either because they don’t believe the viewing figures or they just don’t want to be associated with divisive commentary.

I will give them until after the election and if the Conservatives are destroyed then I would anticipate that GB News will close as having failed miserably in its mission to attract and brainwash the masses to believe in Conservative ideology.

I won't be sorry to see them go.

Because every time I call my mother, I have to listen to a vitriolic, hate-laden diatribe of whatever she's been radicalising herself with on GB News that week.

Last Sunday it was a moan about "nonsensical degrees". I asked, "Such As?" and she replied, "Dancing. Performing Arts and that sort of nonsense".

"So you'd be happy for there to be no more musicals, ballet, etc", I asked.

"Oh no, that's ok. It all this "modern" stuff", she replied.

"But the modern stuff now will be the classics of the future", I replied

"Oh you can never get better than the classics of the past. There won't be classics in the future", she countered.

"But your "Classics" were the modern, contemporary performances of the day", I said.

"Well it was a different time, back then", she said.

And I thought to myself, "Yeah, I know. And you are still stuck in it. Flipping Parents ! Grrrrrr"

GB News - where fascists and weirdos gather to counter and attack everything they consider "woke".

If you consider the pernicious influence and anti-democratic effect of Fox in USA, it would be unwise to laugh off the potential for extreme right-wing media outlets to achieve similar results here, in time.

Through the propaganda power of their print titles, a few wealthy individuals and their well-rewarded scribblers swung it for brexit, against predictions and common sense.

Not targeting any group of people in particular but mass immigration is unsustainable. They all have their hands out because the uk is a well known soft touch. Immigrants all need to be housed, in Plymouth a 3 bedroom terraced house with no garden can cost in excess of £300,000. It’s bonkers, further into Cornwall it’s even worse.

I’m not sure you really know what benefits immigrants are entitled to. If you have the right to reside in the UK (I.e. you are a legal immigrant) then you can claim benefits, if you are an illegal immigrant you aren’t entitled to anything. If you are an asylum seeker then you are entitled to approximately £35 per week and will be placed in accommodation that the government deems fit. You hear a lot about asylum seekers being put up in 5 star hotels but in reality they are almost always in cheap, low grade hotels that struggle to fill their rooms otherwise.

Benefits paid to immigrants are similar across Europe, and the UK is not an outlier. The idea that the UK is a soft touch seems to be one held by people from the UK, and is not born out by facts.

I just shared a video above, where just because a r*pe allegation was not proven, the BBC slut shamed a girl. If you are a feminist and you cared about women's rights, this must make you livid. The BBC sacrificed feminism on the altar of Islamism. It's probably far more disgusting than anything that GB News ever did:

ignore all the link from media viewer onwards.

The BBC seemed to be following up on a court case. In hindsight it was unwise to air any programme with it in, and maybe that's the bias.

I've not seen the documentary to see how the accuser was portrayed. How much was it aligned with what was presented and how much was it bbc spin? Don't know. I got little from the clip.

The fact he's subsequently been sent down for a similar crime looks might suspicious. However any anger on the court result needs to be at the courts. At the time, the BBC were reporting on an innocent man.

The truth is not so many travel to UK.

The vast majority of refugees globally – four out of every five – stay in their region of displacement, and consequently are hosted by developing countries. Turkey now hosts the highest number of refugees with 3.7?million, followed by Colombia with 1.7 million.

Family connections, that English is their second language? Maybe they still view Britain as a tolerant society where they will finally feel safe?

I think sometimes people whose only real concerns are financial, can project those concerns on others who just want to live a normal life free from the threat of death and persecution.

It will be a shame if it does go. Although I watch and read the BBC more than anything, it is good to vary your consumption to see other stories and points of view. The debates I have seen on GB news are often very good especially as everyone involved gets to say their point without interruption.

Why do they have to mention that the men were "less sexually experienced" than the girl? What does that have to do in a r*pe case? Why should they even mention it in this video? Not to mention the fact that they immediately zoomed out to "far right" protests.

It's slut shaming and a blatant attempt at calling the victim a liar and a racist. In a world where we still have problems with women not coming forward to report sexual assault, this is the last thing we needed. You don't blame the accuser just be because there is no evidence for the crime.

Perhaps no one is commenting on it because your link doesn't work. I just get a "Something went wrong" error.

Wouldn't it be easier to just direct us to the BBC page, so that we can all see how terrible it is?ignore all the link from media viewer onwards.

The BBC seemed to be following up on a court case. In hindsight it was unwise to air any programme with it in, and maybe that's the bias.

I've not seen the documentary to see how the accuser was portrayed. How much was it aligned with what was presented and how much was it bbc spin? Don't know. I got little from the clip.

Even without hindsight, it was a terrible thing. The words used were outright blaming the girl. If the guy was a church priest, progressives would be out there protesting about the content of the video and for the right reason

"GB News - where fascists and weirdos gather to counter and attack everything they consider "woke".

Facts and figures....try Googling... Brexit fake news

. Why would anyone do that It would simply direct you to a biased source which hardly makes sense.

Is there an unbiased source you would recommend?

There is none. That raises the question of why people specifically target GB News. I personally never watched it. But then I am not forced to pay for it, unlike BBC.

You are not forced to pay for it, you pay for it if you watch it.

From what I know, if I watch live TV, I am supposed to pay TV licence fee. Has that rule changed?

Are GB News particularly supportive of our government or state? From the clips we've seen we'd say they're quite critical, and being critical of authority and power is good rather than just towing the line.

If you're happy having most media outlets just broadcasting one particular narrative or spinning propaganda in the same way then all power to you we guess?

"I just shared a video above, where just because a r*pe allegation was not proven, the BBC slut shamed a girl.

Here's a link that actually works: https://twitter.com/UnityNewsNet/status/1764769247316603170

There's no 'slut shaming' in that clip. In fact, in that clip, the BBC says nothing about the girl at all.

i don't know what it is that you're angry about in that post and the clip it contains, but your message isn't coming across to the rest of us.

It seems bbc wee following the family before the allegations. And so were complelled to comment.

And at the time the case was pushed by farage.

And the case then went to find him innocent.

So they are reporting in that bit as well as the case.

Perhaps the BBC bias came not from the content, but that angle. They doubled down when attacked.

Again, not defending. But I'd say that a 90 second clip may not be giving the full story. Which in a thread about bias is somewhere ironic.

This might have come up in the court and that's damning too. I don't understand how one's sexual experience would affect the outcome of a r*pe case.

And BBC definitely did not have to mention it in this video. I wish to see the whole video. But this clip took an accusatory tone about the girl. Now that we know the guy is indeed a criminal, imagine what the young girl might have felt watching the video when it came out. Imagine other girls who went through the same issue watching this. What would they have thought? If you can't prove the case, you will be slut shamed and called a racist."
that is a wider biy and why I think the bbc shouldn't have taken the stance they did. If the guy wanted this say it was driven my racism, the BBC should have commented if there was any evidence for this.

I'm not sure which bit is slut shaming. They said she'd had more experience and he'd never kissed a girl. (Not exact quote so apols if I've missed remembered)

But I while heartedly agree that care should be made when presenting on a not guilt rpe case. It's a massively complex issue and you need to balance the rights of the person found NG, with the rights of the accuser (as the NG may have been because there wasn't quite the balance of evidence) and the impact on future cases.

They got it wrong imo.

Did they get it wrong because of some liberal bias? Or because of an endowment effect bias ? Or because they were being attacked ? Or just they made decisions I wouldnt have made?

Given the X was posted as proof of bias, those are the questions I'm asking myself. I'm not seeking to justify their actions but understand of their actions show what the OP intends to show.

The right unbiased way to cover this is to just say that the guy was accused but the verdict was not guilty. They need not have mentioned anything about the girl.

They could have just told that the guy did not have much sexual experience. Why did they have to compare it with the girl? That's a subtle attempt at slut shaming.

People complain about GB News. The BBC isn't any better. Their propaganda is much more subtle than GB News. It's insane that I have been made to pay money for this and people still believe that it's somehow unbiased.

. The reality is that anyone with a TV is forced to buy a licence . It removes freedom of choice. The BBC should become a pay to view channel and then there is a level playing field to compete against other channels. Unfair competition.

According to Andrew Neil the plan was for GB News to be loss adjusting in year two and breaking even by year three, but in fact year two losses were greater than year one losses.

Are we about to see GB News disappear? Andrew Neil doesn’t think the channel is sustainable and the owners will only pay so much to try to influence people before calling it a day. Maybe most British people aren’t quite as gullible as the channel owners had hoped?i imagine no more gullible than those who watch the beeb or sky, none of them are actuall news there just selling you there opinion, and people will watch whatever opinion matches theres"

So why do so many travel so far to reach the uk if not to enjoy the wealth of benefits afforded to them?

I understand the persecution part everyone deserves to be safe, but surely you would go to the closest safe country not travel thousands of miles. Not everyone speaks English who comes to the uk lots have no intentions to learn either.

We have enough unskilled and criminal natives to pay for already I don’t see why we should pay everyone else’s.

From Martin Lewis website...

You only need a TV licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast or use iPlayer – if you only ever use other catch-up sites, you don't need one.

It's a bit like should I take the bus (pay) or walk (free).....Some people bash the BBC because of it's licence but really it's politically motivated.....dare I say it again; dog whistling.. The reality is that anyone with a TV is forced to buy a licence . It removes freedom of choice. The BBC should become a pay to view channel and then there is a level playing field to compete against other channels. Unfair competition.

Nope that's not true, that isn't the reality....the reality is your bashing of the BBC is political motivated

What isn't reality about being forced to pay for a licence if you watch ANY live TV?

That's already been explained and is in the Martin Lewis article "

"You only need a TV licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast or use iPlayer"

Which is forcing you to pay for a TV licence even if you don't watch BBC.

Tell me you don't understand what you're saying without actually telling me
