I didn’t realise we were required to address that point but I’ll have a go. The Sun is the most popular paper in the UK, does that automatically mean it’s any good?
It may well have high figures - I’m not interested enough in the channel to find out. So they tap in to the zeitgeist held by a number of people. Again, just because a large number of people believe something doesn’t automatically mean they’re right or their opinions are correct.

Of course they had many dirty secrets and you’d be hard pushed to find a broadcaster that didn’t/doesnt.
I pretty sure you’re intelligent enough to be aware that the longer an institution has been around, the Law of Averages would suggest the more skeletons in the closet they have. I’m not saying GB News needs to close down (although I wouldn’t miss them if they did) but if we’re both still around come back in about 50 years and see how many dirty secrets they have hoarded.
