[Jeremy Corbyn has pledged to campaign
against the arrival of Rupert Murdoch’s News UK television channel as he launched his Peace and Justice Project at an online rally. A more “just, free and accountable” media is one of four causes Corbyn is encouraging his supporters to back. He also urged them to help with organising direct support in communities, such as food banks; campaign for a green new deal; and press the government to speed up the delivery of Covid vaccines in developing countries. Rupert Murdoch's News UK TV channel given approval to launch] https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-peace-justice Go ahead it will only make News UK (GBnewsHD) on FreeviewHD, SkyHD , VirginHD and BT HD, even better when it starts soon.

Even before its launch, GB News is highly controversial. Its USP will be programming with attitude and strong opinions, serving a conservative provincial audience supposedly ignored by the liberal metropolitan instincts of the current incumbents in British TV news. Its chairman and star presenter is Andrew Neil, until recently the BBC’s champion combatant in political interviews. Among the presenters it is courting are Nick Ferrari and Rachel Johnson (both regulars on Sky News’s The Pledge, which McAndrew oversaw) and TalkRadio host Julia Hartley-Brewer. https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/g...l-b900143.html looking forward to this |

“my conservative voice is being silenced”
when literally the current UK government is a majority conservative one... the right love to make out that they’re not being heard. whilst the main broadcasters in the UK are already centre-right leaning, especially in election times. This is all just another excuse to distribute hate and false information under the insanely rich and horrible murdoch, whom so many people love to boot lick him. |

it's a bit silly to single this news channel out, when the rest of them are completely bias in one form or another

I don't think it's silly to single Murdoch out as being especially insidious tbh, he's been successfully steering UK politics however he wants for decades.

the reason Corbyn is doing it is because he doesn't agree with Murdoch's politics, which isn't a valid reason. It's cancel culture at its best

However I agree about the rest of them too. Oh for a news outlet that just presented news, not their own interpretation of news and filled with with their bias and false information agenda to manipulate too. Two names up there had me cringe right off.. Ferrari and in my view the sickening Hartley-Brewer. I can't bear either of those 2. Says a lot about the direction of this channel that does. |

I disagree and it has nothing to do with cancel culture or silencing an individual; yes he's doing it because he doesn't agree with Murdoch's individual politics, but Murdoch's individual politics has no place in mainstream news reporting - nor anyone else's politics. That's sort of the point.

POW! BLAM!

It's a tricky one because I don't like any form of monopoly, and Murdoch has almost that over the news these days...
But I also don't believe in press regulations, apart from obvious things like not distributing terrorist material lol Corbyn is a rich man as well, there's nothing stopping him from building his own news and media platforms. Maybe his old mates in Iranian propaganda network could lend him a hand! |

Murdoch is a cancer upon the world, his influence should be limited whenever possible. He doesn't deal in news, he deals in propaganda pretending to be news.

There are no UK channels that are as bad, as say, Fox News. To act like all news channels are biased just to defend this one is simply disingenuous. We've seen the damage Murdoch's news channels have done to the US, we know the damage he does with his propaganda rags, are you really happy with him having more avenues of influence? |

JHB and Nick Ferrari have been amongst the worst covid mis informers through the whole pandemic, along with toby young.
We've seen the way fox has manipulated and caused fear in Americans over decades, and we want to bring that here, just as we've lived through 4 years of it's natural conclusion?

Nick Ferrari is the most popular news broadcaster on commercial radio and probably the most listened to
He isnt the lead anchor on LBC for nothing |

You know that fox has been lying about pretty much everything. When I called you a fox viewer you cried about the thread title, so I don't understand your eagerness to be lied to even more than we are already.

It is Not its the same as LBC John spent many years at BBC Radio 5 Live but only had a Sunday show. Times Radio DAB give him a Prime 5PM - 7PM Monday to Thursday show. On Fridays 5PM - 7PM its Ch4HDnews Cathy Newman (Now Dezzy No way would she do what you say propaganda) And 7PM- 10PM on Friday it's Michael Portillo Last edited by arista; 19-01-2021 at 03:42 PM. |

So if you're not a listener, then your previous post was only made for one reason, and we both know what that was.
