We desperately need more liberal/centerist/left voices and publications and cherish the few voices who do speak out against what they consider to be wrong. Or “speak truth to power” as our James would say 😉

The problem is most of the left/centerist/liberal voices tend to be pious, condescending and incredibly dull. Hence nobody in their right minds watches GuardianTV (if it even still exists). :geek:

Surely not the same Matt Stadlen who once posted on X that GB News was a spoof station and an embarrassment. That was after they'd ignored his applications for a job.

There are people out there very desperate to be on television, even if it's a channel with a tiny audience share. It boggles my mind how needy for attention these people are. Often, presenters and guests have absolutely nothing in common with the average viewer. Infact I'd go as far as to say they would actually loathe most of the people who actually watch them in 'real life' (and vice-versa). It makes you wonder why they want to do it. Not enough hugs from mummy and daddy during adolescence would be my guess. There, there.

In Stadlen's case it's more likely to be a desperate need for a job. I don't think he's had any regular work since he left LBC.

Matthew Stadlen, formerly of the LBC parish has popped up on GB News as a commentator on the Post Office scandal.

Caller John from Liverpool on with Nick again, starts off talking gently before gradually building up to a crescendo, similar to a jet engine warming up on the runway.

Is that the guy who wanted Charles Bronson released?

I've seen him on Sky News reviewing the weekend papers. He must tout his services around all news media and hope for a call to arms.

Stadlen did get a job with the BBC but managed to blow it before he even started. His time since he was at LBC seems to have been a complete car crash. Yet he pops up on various stations as a "commentator" and looks all pompous.

What is he qualified to comment on?

To be a 'social commentator' or 'political commentator' or 'Broadcaster' on most television stations you need to have the grifting gene and a desperate, almost pathological need for attention. Oh, and some sort of agent. It's not hard, but anyone sane or interesting has no desire to actually do it.
