I've pretty much never watched it live, but I've seen plenty of clips shared on social media. Another thing they do is monologues where the presenter drones on and just gives their opinion on something, again unchallenged. That monologue pretty much always has the word "woke" in it multiples times.
That happens to douglas alot, it ends up with personal attacks. The funniest one is with Piers Morgan and this awful guy who claims to represent the lgbtq lot, anyway he calls douglas a straight, white man and of course Douglas is very gay, it's on YouTube somewhere but this guys face is a picture when Douglas' points this out to him.I'm not a fan of Douglas myself, but in that clip where he was explaining his view and position on the gender issue thing Ava's first response was to attack him personally: "YOU do this, YOU do that, YOU spread fear etc. etc.". I mean to personally attack someone rather than counter their view with an alternate view was pretty pathetic, pointless, rude, and unhelpful. (You can do that later, once you've made your point)...
Here's an example I quickly found. All three express the same view - ie all anti Gary Lineker and Carol Vorderman. There was no disagreement at all, it's a conversation between three people that all agree:
Boulter is a long-term employee of Murdoch, whose TalkTV is the main rival to GB News.
Here's an example I quickly found. All three express the same view - ie all anti Gary Lineker and Carol Vorderman. There was no disagreement at all, it's a conversation between three people that all agree:
Carol Vorderman has exercised her right to free speech and criticised GB News, hence them attacking her. Yet I thought they were pro freedom of speech and they're constantly attacking the BBC and pretty much anyone who disagrees with them.
Interesting, guessed he had an agenda!
Of course, it's no coincidence that the decline of organised religion in the West conincides with a rise in people watching people like Russell Brand on Youtube! (Or indeed, GB News!). Good news is though ... there is an off switch! Amen!
You first said it doesn't happen, then when I quickly find an example to show that it does, you change to "a panel might all share the same view, but that's not the norm". The goalposts keep changing.

Oh yeah I certainly didn't use that clip to put forward a pro religious or pro Justin Welby point of view!You don't have to apologize. It's funny though that the clip you chose has a picture of Justin Welby on it insofar as what you described GB News doing is pretty much what all of organised religion has been doing for hundreds of years, ie: Some judgemental bloke droning-on!!
It's also worth noting that some of the financial backers of GB News are 'Christians' ... you know, like proper Christians ... the judgemental type! Praise The Lord and pass the ammunition.
You can talk about goalposts changing with your 'they only ever agree on gb news and never have any balance'. I've watched for many hours and never seen that happen, cherry picking if it has happened hardly proves your point that they only ever agree with each other on gb news.You first said it doesn't happen, then when I quickly find an example to show that it does, you change to "a panel might all share the same view, but that's not the norm". The goalposts keep changing.
I understand what free speech is. But -- as per the title -- Lizzie Cundy said Carol Vorderman 'has broken every rule' and 'should have the book thrown at her'. But when others say GB News has broken Ofcom rules and therefore they should have the book thrown at them, GB News don't like that!
I personally think it was wrong for Newsnight to only have people who agreed with each other about getting rid of GB News. There should have been someone there to put forward a pro GB News point of view. The BBC did try, though. Julia Hartley Brewer confirmed on Twitter that they asked her a few times if she would appear in that episode but she refused as it was too late for her.
The BBC itself addressed the criticism in their latest episode of Newswatch. The editor confirmed they contacted several people to appear but they all said no. If you go here, it's from the timestamp 2:35 onwards:
Newswatch - 29/09/2023
GB News is under fire, over offensive comments made on air. But was Newsnight fair to the channel in the way it covered it on Wednesday?
The host challenges the Newswatch editor pretty robustly here. I doubt you'd see the same accountability from GB News, they'd just witch about how awful the BBC is with no one there to offer any alternative viewpoint.

I personally think organised religion is a load of nonsense that has absolutely no place moralising to the whole population. It's a shame some GB News presenters don't share that view.
You raise a good point about financial backers, though. Would I be right in thinking that maybe some of those financial backers profit from fossil fuels, too, and that might be why many GB News presenters think climate change is nonsense? I mean, it wouldn't be too crazy a theory would it?! Happy to be proven wrong, though.
Well, I haven't watched every GB News episode, but I've seen it happen enough to comment on it and even provided an example from recent days. Well, two, given I also talked about the example where two sitting Tory MPs interviewed Jeremy Hunt.
Heh. He's contemptible.
Is he getting £100K a year for appearing like Lee, though?Tbf, Labour MP Barry Gardiner is often on with Lee arguing the toss. It's not as if Lee is interviewing Jim Davidson each week, just most weeks.
