GB News (New British News Network)

*Precision I have no political affiliation. I subscribe to no political dogma or movement. I have highlighted this new news channel as a much needed antidote to the partisan news we are currently subjected to. Will it be free from bias? No, but at least we all get to see the extremes of both sides of the political divide. I get my news from an entirely independant team  who are committed to delivering non-partisan, professional journalism. Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar. It's a fearless anti-establishment Youtube show and podcast with contributors from across the political divide. Their aim is to cut through the media bias. Breaking Points Non-Partisan News & Analysis Precision*

Britain's got a new TV network. The new British network has vowed to fight "cancel culture" and reflect voices not heard in the partisan mainstream media and state-controlled BBC. A spokesperson for GB News said its aim was to "puncture the pomposity of our elites in politics, business, media and academia and expose their growing promotion of cancel culture for the threat to free speech and democracy that it is". 

Cancel Culture is the term given to left-wing and left-leaning attempts at suppressing of free expression and political diversity by permanently shaming and ostracising individuals who threaten their political and social orthodoxy.

  • They probably would have called the civil rights movement 'woke' if the term existed back then. The same for the sufragettes, and those who fought for an end to the persecution of gay people. I dare say the recognition that those of us with mental health and mental illness issues now have is partly the result if progressive/woke people who worked to change the things about society they didn't like, the rules they didn't agree with.

    It wasn't woke people who made the rules. It was the like of Murdoch, the likes of Andrew Neil and others in the media who helped dictate how people were treated, who helped decide the language with which people were referred to. And now there's a dawning culture or respect and recognition for people's differences the likes of Neil want to treat it as a bad thing. 

    What have the right wingers like Neil done for society? What have angry, reactionary, right wingers done for the world?

    I'm not 'woke' but I know which side is more likely to take us forward as a society and which side is more likely to take us backwards. And it certainly isn't the old red faced potatriot going on about how 'You can't say anything anymore!'. 

    Oh, and while he's playing it off as being about countering the 'mainstream' 'left' media now, HE WAS PART OF IT UNTIL JUST A YEAR OR SO AGO. If it was so bad, so left-wing, so terribly PC why did he stick around so long? Why did he work for the BBC, of all organisations?

    Because he's a fraud looking to take your money by selling you ads in between bits about what immigrants are getting that you're not and a segment from Katie Hopkins about how masks are useless and as long as you walk round with your head stuck up your own **** you needn't worry about catching Covid!

    We need to be better than this. Men like Neil seek to profit from the divides in our society, not heal them. GB News will not bring the country together, it will drive us further apart. The ONLY THING keeping the 'Elites' in power is US. 

    The sooner we stop letting these rats turn us against each other, arguing about who the biggest shits are, the sooner we can stop them flushing us all down the bog.

    That 100,000 death toll is made up of all kinds. Black, white, rich, poor, right, left. The one thing they all have in common is a government and a system that doesn't give a *** about them.

  • the right isnt angry.... the left is angry, if you say anything they will scream at you and seek to end your life.... thta is angry... the right isnt angry, infact im rather left win in my ideology and lifestyle, but yet i found more acceptance and tolerance in the right than the left... the left is full of bitter hate and bile and they dont tolerate anything at all, all you find on lefty servers and sites is white men and white women, because they are not tolerant, they cannot tolerate any other view of anyone at all but themselves..... i enter right wing server and there is a massive diverse amount of people even muslims there are tolerated that say they hate the west and pointing out how its depraved and collapsing now..... funny the right is more tolerant and can tolerate enemies and the opinion of enemies in their spaces and discuss with them... the left cannot tolerate anyone but the very few privileged elite white rich boys....

  • I have a similar story, Caelus. I abandoned the Left too. I had a very rude awakening when I inadvertently scratched the surface of their crusade for social equality and egalitarianism, and saw what was really behind it. It's a facade. A smokescreen for their dreams of a totalitarian state, where the individual is crushed, controlled and exploited by a ruling oligarchy. 

  • what human progress has anyone you look up to made? ... absolutely none at all... what human progress has the BBC made? .. none... they have spread hate created wars from hate they spread and cost lives... but your ok with that when its your side and your media, everyone elses has to be mother theresa and have ended world hunger! lmao 

  • Your political views are not shaped by conviction, but by what is the opposite view of 'the Tories'. I've pointed out to you the hazards of this kind of immature partisanship. You end up defending the political positions of your favourite party that are 180° away from the ones they held previously.  And so, nothing you have to say has any meaning or substance because it's not arrived at by your own intelligent, impartial analysis.

    If, tomorrow, The Labour Party were to declare its support for replacing English with French as the UK's official language, and The Conservative Party opposed it, within 24 hours, you'd have found enough slogans and left-wing talking points to back the policy to the hilt.

    You are making many assumptions here Mycal and quite frankly insulting my, and other people's intelligence. Let us stick to your original post and the claims and advertising you made for the new tv network. 

    I have highlighted this new news channel as a much needed antidote to the partisan news we are currently subjected to. Will it be free from bias? No, but at least we all get to see the extremes of both sides of the political divide

    What are the extremes of both sides you talk about and whom are promoting such ? You say this is much needed but you don't say why ? Or you don't say why this will be different or beneficial from others ? As far as I can see you have also not provided any information on who is funding this shiny new tv network you took the time to post on this forum ? 

    Also, are any of the presenters or anyone involved in the network reliable ? 

    What human progress have they made in their lives for everyone ? What is their track records ? What is their intentions.

    Yes, lets talk about the new network !

  • Turtle, I'm not playing this party is worse than that party game with you any more. Both Parties have an equal amount of corrupt politicians in their ranks and both have an equal amount of fanatics who defend and support them. I support neither of them. I make my decisions on election days based on the aggregate of their current policies and their performance in the years leading up to the election.
