To The Point - 2 Breaking News Stories

Compare this to both Sky News and BBC News and you know you will get breaking news every hour from both Sky and BBC.

GB News needs to be more stronger with breaking news stories as they are very important to us in terms understanding the story and the actual details of it. Even LBC News radio is strong when it comes to breaking news and they operate on a very small budget compared to GB News. Something needs to change.
GBNews isn’t so much a rolling news channel as it is a platform for Farage, Wootton and the Tory MPs to give their opinion on the culture wars and related topics of the day.

I’ll let everyone else decide whether that’s to their taste (not me but that’s not the point), but GBNews is barely a rolling news channel.

Ah I see what you did there. Claim your opinion as fact, and then 'allow' people to disagree with your dislike, but not the premis of your argument. 

Let's look again an objective information on the channel from independent,  respected journalism trade site Press Gazette

Doesn't appear to match what you say about the channel

It doesn't disagree with it either though.

And that's just it. I remember Stockland complaining that nobody commented on when he posted that piece a few weeks back as it shows that either side can claim something from it.

The main jist of the feedback is that while there's a presenter who can inject a form of balance between the contributors, it's the audience feedback that really skews it towards the right.

Quote:Thus far, programmes on GB News had been balanced in the sense Ofcom asks for: the weight of the commentary certainly leaned right, but there had always been a punchy personality to put the other side’s argument forcefully, as well as a series of rigidly straight news bulletins throughout the day.

No great surprise there: GB News marketed itself to a particular audience and that’s who now watches it. The effect of this, though, was to make it appear to anyone watching as though Northern Ireland was united in opposition to the Windsor framework - which is the opposite of what polls indicate.

This seems to have produced a neat dynamic for GB News - there’s no need to be unbalanced editorially when your audience provides the opinions you’re not allowed to.

Exciting stuff, the guest seems like a charming person, doesn’t he?


RE: GB News - London Lite - 02-05-2023

JRM handled that quite well to be fair. Michael Cole was the guest being rude.


RE: GB News - Stooky Bill - 03-05-2023

Handled it well by staying put once being told to evacuate? I know he's not primarily a broadcaster but it's very unprofessional and put both them and their crew at risk.

Incidently where were they? Is that portacabin where GB News is going to be presenting their coronation coverage from?


RE: GB News - i.h - 03-05-2023

Unless there's additional context before the clip begins (was it the first ask to evacuate?) I can't see what JRM could have done better there, those few seconds would have made no real difference to safety. He's saying they need to go, its that guest who's being silly about it.

No different to the way Tom Bradby handled ITV News at Ten's fire alarm or the various times Channel 4 News had to evacuate because of similar instances at Gray's Inn Road over the years.

Did Tom receive criticism for sitting through a report while the alarm was going off and then evacuate whilst in vision? No.

GB News does get a lot of flack, sometimes rightly, but I can't see how JRM could've handled it any better. When he was told to evacuate he calmly wrapped up the show and handed back to the studio, where I believe Nigel Farage picked up. (There's literally 15 seconds cut out of that clip linked above).
