Yes, The Times make reference to “egg-producing” people in their article, but GB News put it at the forefront in a desperate, attention grabbing way.As I've been clear, the media transcript service we use at work doesn't show this story was broadcast in news bulletins and fuzzy language search gives a short newspaper review segment.
It’s that sort of reporting that make GBN loose all credibility. They find some of the most minor “issues” to report on that create outrage amongst some of their audience. This sort of headline might make an entertaining Tweet, but surely they don’t/can’t spend an awful lot of time discussing things like this on TV. Are they able to produce hours of content discussing minor things like this? I know they did in the early days (remember Andrew Neil’s “Woke Watch”?) They’ve had many format changes since then, so do they still report on these “gripping issues”?
Not discussed at length, Not featured to "create outrage" at any length, No discussions on the actual topic (just a paper review) no talking heads treating it as News,
Maximum 4 mins of content (at a guess from the text length) No "hours of content"
[I can see from media monitoring everything said on BBC network TV news , ITV News, Sky, C4,C5, CNN, Talk, GB, AJ, France 24, but it can miss some segments; we dont pay for video monitoring logs]
Most of GBN is pretty much what This Morning, Vine, GMB did 2015 -2020]
I'm not a huge fan of the channel, but am a fan of facts over fiction
