I apologise, Stockland - have edited my original post accordingly!
I do completely agree with you on the lacklustre opinion side, and with your points on Twitter (my word, what HAS that place done to political discourse? But I digress…)
If there were a real mix of left, right and centrist voices on GBN - none of whom were afraid to say what they thought - I do think it could be something very wonderful. A true ‘free speech channel’, as opposed to one that makes out it’s such, then sacks a host for using his free speech to take the knee. It’s a shame, because some of their news coverage is actually all right. It’s just the opinion that needs work - and A LOT of it!
