Heroes to Zeros?

[fingers]

The news today that John Cleese is to host a new GB News TV show where he "had dinner with one or two of the people concerned and I liked them very much" has got me thinking about celebrities or musicians you may have admired in the past who turned out to be a tory loving right-wing conspiracy loving nut.

Aside from Cleese above I'll start with Morrissey, Rod Stewart, Ian Brown and Trump loving John Lydon

How dare he work on a news channel that offers different opinions. The horror.

Thoughts with you at this difficult time.

John Cleese seems to be turning into a daft old racist

Phil Collins has always been a twat.....that song he sung about the homeless .....whilst voting for the Tories......who sold millions of council homes .....cricket bat across the chops he needed

Rodger Daltry ......working class revolutionary ......turns into anti European little englander

Anybody who thinks this is left vs right would be very mistaken, it's the 1% and their lackies against everybody else.

Different from who? Is there a left wing equivalent of GB News?

GB news isn't a right-wing news channel. Whenever I've turned it on, I've seen numerous debates with pretty left-wing opinions expressed. That's what I have found quite refreshing. It challenges some mainstream ways of thinking and is no bad thing at all. It's populist, I'll grant you that, but when I watched last week someone was giving a wild and long critique of the Conservative Party. I thought it was Sludge.

Criticising the Tories doesn't suddenly make it not right wing. The Sun, Daily Mail and Telegraph have all had pieces speaking out against Truss, Johnson, Kwarteng and the Tories as a whole recently. They're still right wing media.

No I know that, I'm just saying what they were talking about when I last watched it last week. Do you watch it? They have to be impartial by Ofcom rules. In that sense it's different to the print media.

There's an angle, anti-establishment, populist, anti-woke, challenging orthadox opinions etc, I'll grant you that. I'm not sure you are correct to call it 'right wing media' though.

I’m certain he’s correct.
