"Who turned GBNew on?"
This thread needed some balance. GB News provides desperately needed balance to the left leaning BBC and nye on anti British Channel 4 News and does very well at it.

Balance?
Does BBC news or channel 4 have almost exclusively former and current Tory MP's as actual presenters?
I can think of ....two 'left leaning' contributors on GB News
Two
About 98% of the rest are Tories and right wingers
Priti Patel never stood up at a conference and thanked the BBC for all the good work they were doing for the Conservative Party
Balance??
Don't talk absolute balls
You're missing the point of it, it's a more a political viewpoint prog daring to discuss news items from a right wing bias rather than a left wing bias it's so blaringly obvious the major TV channel news progs have become, especially the two I mentioned.
The BBC has to report the news
If virtually everyday the government or a Tory minister has f**ked up yet again - they have to report it - it's not their fault!
That's not being left leaning, it's reporting the news
You are assuming they are somehow anti Tory because 99% of news stories involving this current Tory government involves them screwing something up
Maybe if the useless bastards got something right on the odd occasion for a nice change -they could report that news too
I know you would prefer a Russian style propaganda tv station that would only ever say nice things about the government
Which GB news is the closest thing we now have
Personally I want to see the actual news - not only the news that doesn't make the government look bad
Anyone that genuinely actually believes that the BBC is some left wing socialist organisation is frankly, a moron
Boris Johnson even installed one of his mates as BBC chairman for crying out loud
Eloquently put again. Everyone is a moron who doesn't think like your extremely blinkered view.
It is well documented that both Left & Right think the BBC is biased in favour of the other.
That's the price you pay for trying to steer an ever-trickier course through dangerous political waters.

A few seconds on Twitter ....
"Tory Laura wouldn't do that. #bbclaurak
Her and Fiona Bruce continually show their Tory bias.
There is only one totally unbiased interviewer on the BBC.
Victoria Derbyshire, she should be presenting that show"
"He was chosen because he supports Kuenssberg's and the BBC Tories bias in favour of the nazi zionist Israelis genocide"
"Replying to @HUncaring
2 right wingers versus one left TYPICAL BBC TORY BIAS"
" Isn't it noticeable how, just minutes after giving Michael Gove the easiest of rides, Laura Kuenssberg on @bbclaurak suddenly transforms into an altogether different animal to interview Labour's Pat McFadden & going for the jugular!
The Tory stooge can't hide her bias"
"Replying to @bbclaurak
Sorry. You are completely compromised by your Tory bias. No one -except Tories - takes you seriously...Client journalism at its worst....shame on the BBC these last few years.."
" Of course she has to add something in the end just to make sure that the Conservatives that are paying her should not sack her from the BBC. She is independent presenter and not at all bias. What a trick the Tory has created!!If you don't play their game you are out. But I think?"

Yes l agree with the BBC viewers. Watching Question Time now is like watching a Political Broadcast on behalf of the Tory Party 🎉. She shows Tory bias. We want a neutral chairperson. Sack her now"
" Who thinks the TV licence should be with held from payment. Till the BBC gets its act together. Hets Fiona Bruce replaced on question time. Along with Laura kuenssberg and the chairman of the BBC. The tory bias is now rampant on the bbc. It's like watching a propaganda station."
BBC has no left or right bias
Only morons would come to this stupid conclusion
To be honest the politics on this site are set in their ways from both sides and as such I don't even see the sense of debating/ arguing about it.
Given how bad times are in the country at the mo (Not blaming anyone) I think there is a drastic need for some levity as a form of escapism from a what is in general a very glum era so far.
I see that the BCG get a mention in the Daily Mail story on Eric Idle its so sad to see that a national treasure is on their uppers in fact it;s criminal seeing how much he gave not only the UK but the world.

You only want see the news that does make this government look bad. Are you going to be as vocal when Labour are in government? Can't wait for that.
And you commenting on bias is like Hitler giving a speech on world peace.

Both of you are equally biased. We all have our opinions. There is nothing wrong with that. I doubt you'll stop being a shameless Tory apologist, once Labour are in government either.
But for GB News to masquerade as a serious news organisation when it is in fact deliberately very right-wing is very irresponsible.
I'm not even sure it is trying to be that. From most of the presenters bar the actual politicians you'll find a lot of it's quite tongue in cheek and they're aware what they say's quite rich, given how cavalier some Torys are, mainly Boris. The more seriously taken right wing political stance on huge talking point matters like immigration and its effects on us is simply following the public line that led to the vote to leave the EU, whether it's had the desired effect or not.
It's obviously been inspired by US Fox News that proved there's a market for this sort of prog. There is nothing at all stopping someone starting a left wing news discussion prog, maybe Corbyn should be a bit more entrepreneurial rather than growing cabbages on his allotment.

With disastrous consequences. Now nobody in the US can rely on their TV news to tell the truth anymore. Hence why the US is now in a complete mess. We must fight to stop the UK going the same way !
