It's what happens when you create a propaganda channel devoted to tickling the balls of the right wing. All the actual journalists will dip out and you'll be left with sycophants and people who won't get a media job anywhere reputable.

It's not going anywhere. It is being backed by billionaires, and whilst it's fun to mock them now, with the support and the desire to radicalise more people daily, like fox, it will be around a very long time. No one starts a channel like this unless it's with radicalising long term goals.

If this channel is here to radicalise people like you say. Then isn't it alao possible that a different political leaning media like ITV, BBC, Channel 4, Sky News, CNN also have the capabilities to radicalise people? Or is it different when they agree with you?

Absolutely none of those channels present a socialist agenda, and anytime a socialist appears on the scene, they work just as hard as rw media to smear them into oblivion. See Sanders in the US, or Corbyn here.

They are about the status quo - the BBC is scared to even criticise Johnson for anything, CNN was the anti trump channel but had his former campaign staff on pretty much every show they made. It's all about maintaining their access and privilege.

But a socialist agenda is exactly what the people of the United Kingdom rejected in a big way not so long back. So who'd want a socialist agenda on their TV's anyway? Not much of a market for it.

They didn't actually, because the policies of the democratic socialist agenda are still some of the most popular when the GBP is polled. BBC imposing Corbyn pictures with St. Basils in red square behind him, or calling free broadband -broadband communism.

Blaming the BBC for Corbyn's disaster as a leader?

Jesus I have heard it all now

Except I didn't, but I'm sure your reading comprehension is such that I don't need to explain it to you. I'm sure you're about to contribute to the thread with some insight in a minute....

I like Andrew Neil, I would watch his show, I watched the politics show last Sunday, wont watch again, and there was a man walking around in the background which was a bit distracting

Surely if the audience share is falling, that shows the UK isn’t as far right as is suggested on here every day of the week :laugh:

Or that it's so amateurish and just plain bad that even the most committed Tommy Robbo wannabe can't stand to watch it for more than five minutes at a time :laugh:

I'm a cord-cutter jet, I don't watch any broadcast television, let alone Fish'n'Chips News. I like to watch clips of it on YouTube sometimes though because it's funny to watch self-congratulatory tenderloins embarrass themselves on telly.

You miss the purpose of the channel if this is an honest musing. It took fox 25 years to turn a mainstream conservative audience into the seditious, coup-supporting radicals their viewers are today. The targets are what's left of decent conservatives in this country and do the same over here.

what do you mean is this an honest musing, what else would it be, thought it might be to make money like most businesses are :shrug:

btw I know you love seeking out perceived racist bigotry on the forum but you seem to have missed a clear example on the recent trans thread..you're welcome

Well when you follow up with the laugh smiley at the end of it, it's hard to know whether it's serious or facetious.

I've spoken about trans threads before, and I generally avoid them because I haven't worked out exactly what my own positions are yet, which I'm sure you'll agree is the pretty sensible thing to do as a general rule of thumb.

Do we really call GB News actual news.

Surely it's satire about Fox News, it has to be.:joker:
