Could. Not. Resist.

Production is absolutely skool project level.

Content not so sure about that either.

Seems twitter wants them defunded tho which is counter productive as its so bad just leave them to it - people will turn off anyway.

I thought I'd have a look the other night. Lasted a minute tops - Alan Sugar was busy being a boring fecker. But the production values were utterly shocking :lol: I reckon our local Manc Freeview channel "That's Manchester" does a better job

It’s bizarre that something with so much money would look so shit. Probably deliberate to make them look like a plucky upstart :lol:

I’ve not watched unsurprisingly, it’s funny that a group of people who make a living calling others snowflakes had to give themselves a safe space though.

I’m sure I heard on the radio they are doing it all in a temporary building as their proper building isn’t finished ?

Intellectually? No, just jam crayons as far up your nose as you can and you'll be fine.

Eric's son? (not Little Eric, Big. You don't hear much about him these days, not since he lost his hair).

The viewing figures aren't very good but that's because their target audience don't want to watch the news. They just want their opinions validated in a pithy headline.

Latest news is that ratings dropped to 0 for a few shows after a presenter took a knee in response to the football racism :lol:

I just looked that up.



Also




I mean, is GBNews an Armando Ianuccio project to lampoon the right, but done in real life rather than as part of a TV show?

See, this is why being proud to be British is seen as a bad thing these days, because idiots like this hijack the idea and turn it into either 1) excuse to be racist idiots, or 2) at the very least be so idiotic to come across as racist, whether intended or not. I think this fall into the first category though……

Watching Andrew Neill basically set fire to the career he has built up over forty years (if not longer) has been a mixture of hilarious and kinda sad, too. Going from being one of the more respected faces on one of the worlds most trusted news channels (still mostly true, quiet at the back) to being attached to this utter joke of a 'news' network.

You'd think he'd know that the ones who cry the loudest about free speech and patriotism are, almost without exception, the ones least interested in actually following that rhetoric up - it's tub thumping to attract the idiots. It's rarely not.

That said, I expected him to be smart enough to know that. Perhaps I was mistaken :lol:
