GB News

Never seen it myself but anyone watch this channel?

Did you know its main backer and shareholder is the Legatum 'investment fund'. Legatum was founded by Christopher Chandler, who was once a major shareholder in Gazprom.

In 2018 he was named in Parliament as 'working for Russian intelligence' based on leaked French intelligence files.

Anyone still watching it?

  Your missing out Wilts, you want to watch it and Al Jazeera and France 24, a much  more pointed cross section of news than some of the nice people on big bucks for sucking up to people  the BBC come out with.

Not Russia Today?

  No never watched it Donny, but you would get a far more wide  ranging coverage of news watching the other channels, I doubt you will see the prospective Labour Party MP giving an explosive talk on infiltrating schools with their doctrine, with some on here it has already happened.
  Some members of that party in high positions are the modern fifth column to this country.

GB News is a laughable, widely derided joke of a news outlet. Total farce from the day it began airing.

Anything but balanced or measured either. Just a disgrace to journalism all around.

It was always planned to be a UK Fox News, but with a plausible face. So they had Andrew Neill as the front face (he's a very right wing person, but somehow has managed to convince everyone that he is the epitome of balance).

That was an absolute shambles. They were a mess right from the start and Neill packed up and left in a huff. Since then, they haven't even tried to hide what they are. A platform for far-right gobshites and/or racists like Farage, Wooton and Alastair Stewart. Anyone who thinks they are expanding their minds by watching that vat of pig shite is away with the fairies.

 Billy you amaze me, you are the ultimate expert on Covid, Politics, NHS, Pollution, The News, Russia, the USA, admittedly not bad at Football tolerable anyway, and other people,  what's it like when your feet don't touch the ground?

BST is, in his own mind, top b*llocks in or at everything, a bit like Idi Amin was in Uganda. There's a slight difference though, Uganda is a real place, Dreamworld isn't.

And some are so expert on everything they always go for the player never the ball or niggle and poke from the side lines, that's not football it's mud wrestling, or more accurately trolling

[wilts rover]

Interesting that some people think a tv channel created and funded by a Russian spy ('allegedly' by 4 security agencies now I see) gives a 'cross section' of news.

One way of looking at it I suppose. Collaborating in Russian funded propoganda is another, probably more accurate one.
