Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)

Newspapers (at least some of them) still pay actual full time journalists. Soon all we're going to get is unprofessional chancing grifters providing us all the 'news' on blogs, twitter and YouTube.

Apply for GB News, or our own troll splatter Towny can apply. You'd both be very balanced.

I find a story on a real news site then post a similar story from the express.it makes certain people feel they are superior in intellect and makes for an interesting exchange of views.
I sleep with one eye open, You have too in my line of business.

The kind of journalism where a team of professionally trained journalists spend weeks, months even years rooting out a story is not profitable. Nor is paying someone to sit in court for weeks and getting a handful of articles at the end of it. Instead you can just get grifting imbeciles to shout at each other for segment after segment and watch the clicks roll in.
You're far too young to be this cynical (but you're spot on)

Latest from Andrew Neil on GB News:

Quote:
1000+ applications!
A week after launching the GB News jobs portal we have been swamped.
Impressive calibre of talent (with some surprising names from established broadcasters!).
Interested?
Be quick as we’ll be closing some applications later this week.

Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)

The man behind this channel has let it be known he wants to campaign on the channel for an enquiry into MPs, Peers and business people who "betrayed" the country to a foreign entity, namely the EU. This is never going to end is it and all the while the two sides become more entrenched and the hatred more visceral whilst the vast majority of us sit here thinking why is this still even an issue

All I want from the news is neutrality and facts.Not gossip,not innuendo,not inference and respect for ALL parties.

Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)

I also want balanced news. ITV and Channel 4 reported earlier this week only on the buildings destroyed in Gaza with a clearly implied steer as to the evil Israel.
Not a word then about the thousands of rockets launched by Hamas against Israeli towns.

They still existed, which show intent. Not all were stopped and there were causalities.
Bias can often manifest itself by not reporting certain things, or just use of a single word can change the emphasis given. or by not challenging what people say.

Many fell short and landed in Gaza where they were launched from.
