If true, that will also be the fault of Israel for not shooting them down in time :rolleyes:

Not a word then about the thousands of rockets launched by Hamas against Israeli towns.

Dream on.

With the Warner-Discovery merger on the horizon and Discovery being a major investor in GB News and Warner owning CNN, I wonder if Warner-Discovery may be tempted to withdraw from GB News. (In the same way that Comcast/NBC Universal did with Euronews when it acquired Sky and Sky News.)

A downmarket shouty 'what I reckon' channel for Sun/Express readers, you'll love it !

The news is the news and was never meant to be exciting.

It's always the same:-
1. The climate is screwed.
2. Britain becoming more irrelevant and smaller by the day.
3. The latest Royal to do something silly.
4. Our latest sporting failure.
5. And finally, cat stuck up a tree.

I should think so, she's the most evil person on the planet. And GB News will doubtless expose her nastiness ;)

I think you will find that all that nonsense is what GB News was set up to neutralise, providing news that people actually want to hear.

That'll be interesting when you consider you and I have probably quite different tastes in news, but maybe you're right and they'll report more about the things that happen in nonwhite non English speaking countries ;).

Most news by definition is bad news. It's not that we want to hear it, it's more that's is useful to hear it.

I don't think there's much 'news' that is useful to me, even the regional news is about as appetising as mowing the lawn in a thunderstorm :rolleyes:

Much of it is centered around the latest 23 yr old unmarried mother of 6 gender confused activist, who is sticking leaflets on telegraph poles in order to highlight that she can't feed her kids now that her Sky/Mobile contract has gone up £3 to £152 a month

Can’t say I’ve seen those stories in the Times, BBC, Sky, ITV, Yorkshire Post, or other major News outlets.

Maybe they’re just in the papers you read?
