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.

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

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

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

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

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....

Do we really call GB News actual news.

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

Andrew Neil has resigned as chairman and lead presenter of GB News, just three months after helping to launch the channel.

"It's official: I have resigned as Chairman and Lead Presenter of GB News," he posted on Twitter on Monday.

Neil, 72, was on air for less than two weeks before announcing he was taking a break.

The former BBC political presenter will continue to contribute to GB News as a regular guest commentator.

In a statement, he said: "I am sorry to go but I have concluded it's time to reduce my commitments on a number of fronts.

"Over the summer I've had time to reflect on my extensive portfolio of interests and decided it was time to cut back."

He added: "I wish GB News well in continuing to fulfil its founding promise and mission to reach audiences currently underserved by existing news broadcasters."

A statement from GB News said: "Andrew is without doubt one of the finest journalists and interviewers in this country.

"GB News thanks him for his 12 months of leadership, wisdom and advice, and we wish him well."

"Over the summer I've had time to reflect on my extensive portfolio of interests and decided it was time to cut back."
