Why would anyone want to watch a news channel that panders to their particular prejudice, rather than delivers, you know, news?

I don't get it.

There hasn’t been a right wing government for 30 years either.

They've signed some decent presenters and gone all out to sign high profile local presenters, especially up north and Andrew Neil is probably the best UK interviewer we have

Personally have enjoyed the cancel culture left getting angry for the last six months online about the whole idea of the project and things they haven't said.

Imagine it'll serve a purpose but won't come close to challenging the BBC.

It’ll appeal to Brexit-supporting northern spastics, I suppose. Not gonna change the political landscape, and once the advertisers, selling Pot Noodles and white vans pull out, they’ll go bust.
Lovely way to talk about your core vote :D

There’s so many media outlets these days I struggle to keep track of which ones are the right wing fascists and which are the left wing commies. This is what I’ve got so far

Right wing fascists:

Sun
Daily Mail
Express

Left wing commies:

Guardian
Novara Media
The Canary
BBC

Any I’m missing?

Dunno why the lefites are so upset over a news channel that hasn't even broadcast yet.

There's a reason Skwawkbox news at 10 hosted by Rachel Swindon hasn't launched, demand ain't there despite the amount of Retweets they get.

Is it because there aren’t many billionaire backers to fund such a station?

Of course we have had right wing governments.

Not as far right as some, thankfully, but of course we have.

Throw in Bankers, fascist and Murdoch in to the next reply to complete the cliche set.

Also, you forgot to emphasise that they are "Foreign" billionaires.

If only it was about cliches. Instead of a threat to democracy.

Blimey, a TV channel with precisely zero minutes of content is a threat to democracy now.

I'm sure GB News won't be biased in any way - and if they are they can go through the same impartiality training the BBC was rumoured to have gone through a few weeks ago following Naga and Charlie's little episode with the Union flag.

Yeah, you’re right, the backers are probably just pumping millions into this project for shits and giggles.

Democracy is about more than elections.

The concern here is that a new set of billionaires are increasing their influence by setting up yet another platform to disseminate far right views.
