I think it was a pat statement to counter the other poster's pat statement about Farage. A sort of "so what" rebuke and you were the first person (should be honoured) that came to mind.
No offence meant.

Re: GB News / Talk TV
I'm not sure this will give Talk TV much of a leg-up.
Quote:
A new commercial partnership will see TalkTV become the exclusive provider of national TV programming on the Local TV network.
It means TalkTV will be available on Freeview in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, North Wales, Teesside and Tyne & Wear reaching about five million UK homes or around 18% of all UK television households. TalkTV, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News UK, will provide national content alongside Local TV’s regional output.
TalkTV can already be found on Freeview, alongside rival GB News. However, Local TV benefits from a position on the first page of the programme guide.

Jacob Rees-Mogg will be joining GB News with his own television show this year, the Daily Express understands. The former Brexit minister will be joining the start-up broadcaster in the coming months, sources inside the channel have said,

Re: GB News / Talk TV
Of course he is.
---------- Post added at 17:01 ---------- Previous post was at 16:56 ----------
I'm really not keen on serving MPs of any party hosting a show on TV or Radio. Similar issues where they're being paid to write for newspapers on subjects not relevant to their jobs.
But at least the ones on LBC seem to be where the public can hold the politicians hosting them to account.
What's the betting this one ends up being the dissociative one where he pretends his time in government isn't now relevant to the issues he's talking about.

Re: GB News / Talk TV
Seems appropriate, he can join the other wackos on this channel.
Private Eye did an article on some of these unsavoury individuals: https://www.private-eye.co.uk/issue-1589/media-news
Patrick Christys
Quote:
In one recent show, presenter Patrick Christys praised a largely discredited new book which claims Covid was genetically engineered and leaked on purpose, with help from US chief national scientific adviser Anthony Fauci and cover-ups by UK scientists.
The book, by one Andrew Huff, has been treated sceptically by other media outlets, but Christys and guest Dominique Samuels claimed it proved that so-called Covid conspiracists were "completely vindicated" on a host of issues.
|
Dan Wootton
Quote:
Last month presenter Dan Wootton interviewed controversial online personality Andrew Tate, who was allowed to refer to an "imaginary pandemic" and deny that hospitals had been overrun without any challenge
|
Mark Steyn
Quote:
Meanwhile, on his personal podcast, GB News presenter Mark Steyn said the slowing of the birth rate of "Aryans", who built "western civilisation", had been accelerated by Covid vaccines. He openly celebrated the fact that Ofcom does not regulate his personal show.
|
Nick Dixon
Quote:
Another purveyor of wacky Covid opinions is Nick Dixon, a host of GB News's paper review and presenter of the Daily Sceptic podcast, which grew out of a previous Lockdown Sceptics website founded by armchair epidemiologist Toby Young. When he's not on GB News, Dixon can be seen online praising people who didn't get the vaccine, calling them "pure bloods".
|
Calvin Robinson
Quote:
It's not only the pandemic where those given voice and prominence by GB News veer towards the unhinged. Host Calvin Robinson, who dresses in an old-fashioned clergy uniform despite the Church of England having declined to ordain him, shared the unfounded theory that the Ukraine war is a money-laundering operation for US aid to be donated to the Democratic party via the use of cryptocurrency.
During recent immigration debates, Robinson, who is black, repeatedly praised the views of Enoch "Rivers of Blood" Powell, tweeting that "Powell provided an important contribution to the conversation" and changing his background image to a picture of the politician.

To take you up on one quote you posted:
Quote:

|
What was wrong with the "Rivers of Blood" speech? The shock/horror of the time was all play-acting and made at a time when Powell's long range vision wasn't accepted and demographics were different. Now look at the culture mix in the UK and where it's heading with all this immigration. It's a matter of time. When Powell spoke, the UK population was 55m; today it is 67m of which c. 81% is categorised as "White".
I'm really fed up with being made to feel that being "white" in my country is something to be ashamed of.
I've little doubt that I'm now going to be vilified by the virtue signallers on this forum.

Re: GB News / Talk TV
You’re absolutely right - all of those are below the level of quality that Farage is…
btw, your figures are misleading - White & White:Other White total 87.9% of the population.
White - 81.7% (48.7 million)
White: Other White" (6.2%, 3.7 million)
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...(1.2%20million)
Quote:
The term Other White is a classification of ethnicity in the United Kingdom and has been used in documents such as the 2011 UK Census to describe people who self-identify as white (chiefly European) persons who are not of the English, Welsh, Scottish, Romani or Irish ethnic groupings.

Not really journalists though are they? We don't usually know the name of proper journalists because they don't make themselves the story. They're outrage merchants. Their job isn't to uncover things but incite people to drive engagement. Say something outlandish, get people to react and monetise the outrage. It takes little more talent than that seen from an internet troll.
The irony is that oftentimes the left-wing counterparts they rail against the most are their allies in a symbiotic relationship where they need each other to keep their careers going. They each other to react/argue against.
I stopped following people like James O'Brien years ago because of this as the grift is so obvious. He panders to this sympathetic audience, provokes his unsympathetic audience and makes a career selling ads or books to these mugs who think 'owning' a caricature of right (or left in the case of the commentators above) is a worthwhile use of a time.

They're all shock-jocks and not journalists. Ex politicians and darlings of social media.
That's why the real journalist Andrew Neil left GB News.

Re: GB News / Talk TV
Populism, not journalism, sums the channel up.
Mind you the right wing loons aren't that popular anymore. They've had their chance if power for a few years and the country is a shambles.
