But when they stir up a hornet's nest (sometimes accidentally, no doubt occasionally deliberately) it ends up getting reported on other channels and media.

So whereas advising us to not watch GB News is one option, that isn't really a sensible or viable way to stop seeing/hearing people "whinging". If you (generically, not personally) choose to watch a channel/show/presenter who makes contentious points then you're just going to have to accept people are going to criticise them, the show or the channel.
And the Guardian/channel 4 caters to left wing nut jobs.

None of you have addressed its colossal viewing figures compared to other news channels, just stupid snivelling remarks that it must have low viewing figures.

My point still stands, BBC had a dirty secret for years re: Saville, so they should shut down because whatever GBNews has done, it pales in to insignificance compared to BBC.

I'm quite sure she went on to say she disagreed with the Farage milkshake incident, I fail to see what's actually objectionable. It's just more whataboutery because the lads at GB News are all getting sacked.
I condemn nonces that the BBC failed to act on for decades. But good to see your ignorance in full flow.

Perhaps you should do some research, they had a weirdo on there playing a musical instrument with his penis. That went beyond any common decency.

Oh and one of their News presenters was caught in an off guarded expletive beginning with C against an MP.
