Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with everything on GB News so it's not really that much of an echo chamber.
Besides, it is regulated by OFCOM, they have to be giving a voice to all sides whether they want to or not. I know people compare it to Fox News or Sky News Australia, they are not bound by the regulations like GB News is.
And yet somehow, after 18 months, GB News is starting to compete with BBC News and Sky News.
Also the fact that we both know that GB News is heavily regulated by OFCOM unlike Fox News and Sky News Australia.
You have the right to call it Poundland journalism, I have the right to call it alternative journalism provoking thoughts and challenging consensus, even my own.

GB News is a conscious effort to, from their perspective, ‘provide an alternative’. From what I can see, this mainly revolves around platforming commentators who wouldn’t typically be called upon.
So, I’m left wondering this: what exactly does GB News cover that isn’t picked up by the BBC, ITN, Sky, or even Talk, Global etc.
I’m all for a plurality of media (yes, even the Poundland journalism offered by GBN) but let’s be real: they’re not the ones breaking the mould and covering untold stories.
