Well yes obviously. We have rules about how broadcasters have to behave in this country and they make no effort to follow them. If they want to be an American style news channel with American values and standards then they should broadcast in America not Britain.

Should have never been given a licence in the first place

Yes, absolutely. It’s a scandal that Ofcom hasn’t done anything about their obvious bias.
Unlucky-Public-2947 on
It’s a total joke, presented and part owned by the man who wants be the next PM, quite why we are allowing this tinpot burslisconi access to so much influence is beyond me.

Yes and nothing will be done about it because we’re in the ‘Biden’ phase of re*ardation where we say ‘oh but that’s breaking the rules, somebody will stop them somewhere because that’s naughty!’ Before we realise that right wing lunatics like Farage will steamroll in and we did nothing to prevent it hoping they’d be honest
GB News, or any newspaper, should adhere to certain laws around telling the truth or be advertised as such. You shouldn’t be able to be called a newspaper if you are 70% fiction and you shouldn’t be called a news channel if you are hosted by MP’s

They should be forced to play Benny Hill music every time one of them opens their mouths.

It should firstly not be allowed to be called news.

The end is near, the fall of the BBC should be celebrated as a national holiday.
Think of all the young minds that will be saved from the BBC’s cleansing

What should happen is Channel 4 give Zack Polanski an hour every week and the BBC give say Andy Burnham an hour on TV every week. Reform would scream the house down.

I agree that GB News has so many problems that we could make a long list, however I do roll my eyes at who made the comment. I watch Sky News daily and just last night was watching a discussion which included Adam Boulton. He was annoying me at the time for his constant stream of biased digs and insults at people he doesn’t like. Most of these comments were aimed at the Tories and Reform and a few at the Greens. Some of them about both political sides were a bit funny but I was not impressed with his professionalism. He wasn’t pointing out flaws in their policies or anything legally they were doing wrong. It wasn’t anything better than the schoolboy insults you see in The Commons. For a man at the top of his field presenting national news headlines you are supposed to be unbiased, discussing the deadlines should involve facts and evidence not speculation, labelling parties things they are not, insulting their appearances etc. He was no better than GB News, Fox, or CNN.

Too late now. The genie is out of the bottle, the toothpaste can’t be put back in the tube etc. Any attempt to shut it down now will just see uproar from the cretins that consume it and hand yet another win to Reform, what with it being thier defacto ’news‘ provider.

Yup. If Starmer had any balls he’d have leant on Ofcom to get them and TalkTV taken off the air.

If we started removing licences from biased media in the UK, there’d be no media left. Hey, at least we wouldn’t have to pay for a TV licence any more.

Sky News is hardly much better these days; albeit that’s happen more since he’s left.
Sam Coates is a huge right-wing ideologue who’s been relentlessly trying to make controversies out of nothing.
Even the other day he was saying the government was pushing “propaganda photos” and “fake news” of Starmer simply because it was a photo of him smiling which then turned out to be from the Press Association. No apology of course.

Oh so just because they deliberately spread misinformation, repeatedly break regulations, have a clear political bias and acts as a PR team for a sitting MP/party leader the should lose its licence.
PC gone made. /s

GB news is the propaganda arm of Reform, all the funding goes back to the same sources.
They lose around £130m a year, but it doesn’t matter because it’s agenda is all about promoting its political arm Reform.
Send them all to jail the lot of them, including the dodgy millionaires that are funding this entire con.

Agree it’s not even news, it has to call itself entertainment and idiots still fall for it. The government needs to crack down on media that lie and spread misinformation. I don’t mean in a dystopian way. Fines, court proceedings, loss of license ect.

Ofcom will only intervene if enough complaints are upheld. Get complaining!
I treat GB news, like the Daily Star newspaper. I wouldn’t touch it with a shitty barge pole

Its the TV equivalent of The Sun. Absolute dogshit. Exists only to make your nan more right-wing.

The country has been dealing with people more or less abiding by the rules for decades. They’ve no backbone to enforce rules on those that don’t.

On an alternate history universe starmer heavily penalised twitter after the august 2024 anti refugee and anti Muslim pogroms and before trump could be president and all that doge stuff went through
Twitter then dampened, the far right stops being able to build in roads into harassing every part of British society
Offcom shutters GB news and far right agitators complain, opting to travel and live abroad permanently and sqwalk from the sidelines than make inferences and vibes based hate and feels about crimes rather than data.
In this alternate universe starmer introduces legislation to make sure major media outlets in the UK have to be owned by people that actually reside for the majority of their time within the UK. There’s still a left right and center but they’re not buoyed by foreign money. Crypto backers are banned.
Starmer scraps the online safety act and opts for a slim line one where a fast tracked simple system of a government gateway id for anyone 18+ yields a simple qr code you put in when accessing porn or social media. It’s agnostic in the sense the government doesn’t know which sites you prove your id too just that it is a simple check to make sure you’re an adult when checking material
Starmer with his serious style of governance opts to hire emotionally resonant government ministers that do the emotions of his behalf
Seeing the rising complaints of the green party and Gary’s economics and cost of living fears he announces a landmark investigative study done by a mixture of hmrc civil service and tax lawyers and tax accountants into the efficacy of a kind of wealth tax. The best people are brought in to truly examine if one is workable when a global tax regime is not enforceable.
In parallel starmer contacts his European counterparts and connects to this grand idea of unified corporate taxation within the EU
Not only that a proposal for enhanced and greater defense treaties and European deterrent system to be drawn up and used in parallel with the NATO structure.
Ed milliband in this alternate universe is sent to advocate within Germany and France and the strongest of the European nations to work towards energy security with civil nuclear power and also increase in renewablea. An argument for bulk buying necessary materials from China for cheaper while also looking into strategic supply chains for essential industries of growth and research that the UK and Europe needs.
The first nationalisation is water with preparation for steel and rail as well. Studies are undergone and site visits made to Dutch Chinese and Japanese builders to get an idea of how to do infrastructure quicker than hs2.
Announces a collaboration for 5G project with china as well.
Big policy moves are also accompanies with big studies to test the success or failure of such programs.
Bla bla bla I can do this hindsight examination but I feel like it would be better than what happwned.
