GBNews: anyone watching?

I'm surprised GB News hasn't gone bust, I still haven't met anyone who watches it and I know a wide array of folk including 2016 Brexiteers.

The icing on the cringy cake was recruiting tittle-tattle gossipy presenters Eamonn Holmes and Anne Diamond. Making the channel a cross between Fox News and This Morning.

I looked online recently and its viewing numbers have improved. Who are these people?

We all watch GB News in our family as it's well balanced. All sides are given a voice in their debates and the guests don't shout over each other as more often than not happens on BBC and ITV. The mainstream channels have become nauseating, boring and repetitive with Naga Munchetty the agitator in chief.
Al Jazeera is a good option for Worldwide news.
I agree with the last sentence.

But GB News is not well balanced at all. It's not really news. You only have to look at the presenters list to see that. All I've seen is ranting show hosts and hand picked subjects. The standards are appalling.

They recently claimed they were the most popular news channel in the UK. Conveniently overlooking the fact that news media takes many forms. The most visited news site on the entire planet is the BBC (1.1b visits in April)

So the choice is between shit television and the end of civilization as we know it?

If only life were that simple.

I don’t watch GB News, but I dabbled in its first few months during the ads for other channels. Wootton came across as a tittle-tattle overbearing bore. Hopefully the end for him, but I notice he’s now saying he wasn’t laughing/smirking. If booted out, the next stop will shirley be working for Fox News or similar in the US.

Why would you bother to make such a salacious, diversionary comment? In contributions on another thread you presented yourself as a concerned family man, championing decency and worrying about immigrant sexual misbehaviour..... e.g. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/asylum-seeker-charged-rape-skegness/
Well that's because I'm not a far right opportunist but rather a regular dude that appreciates well presented ladies and that if an offer was made and I wasn't in a stable and fulfilling relationship wouldn't let minor political differences affect my decision making process .
All hypothetical of course .
