I'm reading today it's overtaken the BBC every day last month, 1st time this has happened,
For the massive this isn't an endorsement, however if I ever watch any news on TV it's usually GB News and occasionally SKY news. Doris often has BBC news on so I do sometimes have to listen for a laugh, they still cover sport better than ITV IMO.
Do you ever listen to their Radio station? They do Meghan Markle for about four hours, people coming in on boats for 10 hours, Public sector workers for four hours, vegans for two hours, and if there's anytime left they freestyle it up on renewable energy, people on benefits, social workers and teachers, who they really seem to dislike. I have it on for five minutes on my way home from work just to remind me of what it's like to be at a family gathering........Quote:

Does that mean GB news is now Propaganda as it's more popular than the BBC, and to make matters worse, MAINSTREAM! There's got to be some head scratching going on.Quote:

I casually mentioned to him after seeing the concert goers in wood street that the gig was taking place, he was rather vocal in his displeasure suggesting that its about time they demolished the stadium many profanities thrown in, my lad got engaged last week and i'm over the moon about it :thumbup: the grandson has another fight coming up but its around November time i think.Quote:

I know comedy is subjective. But listening to BBC news for a laugh? I can think of funnier things 🤣Quote:

It's "anti woke" if you like. In that it asks difficult questions. Way more balanced than it's left wing detractors (who never watch it) think.
Below Times Radio and the BBC for me but if you want to understand this country then GB news is far far better than the guardian, Express, Novara media etc.
The more people watch it the more we realize how much information is withheld from us in recent years too. Shines a really important light.
if that is true what type of numbers are we looking at ?Quote:

You often see claims from the ever expanding citizen journalists who claim they get more views than the mainstream legacy news outlets these days
would be interested to know the real viewing figures of the legacy media
in USA social media outlets have now taken over the mainstream channels when reporting on the news

Never watched or listened to GB News, never will do either. That said, I barely ever watch BBC News although I do listen to 5 Live, Test Match Special and Radio Wales a lot.
Tend to rely on Times Radio and various other news channels on You Tube for my news coverage these days.
Worth pointing out that this is comparing GB News channel (80,000) with BBC News channel (78,000) and not the news on BBC1 (millions). It's almost as if the headlines and articles are deliberately written this way to make out that more people get their news from GB than BBC, which they don't (even if you had a zero to the GB figures).
This is reflecting a huge decline in how people get their news. Only a fraction of a single percent of the population watch news channels, and the demographic that does tend to be older and more interested in the kind of content that GB News shows.
I'm sure the independent and critical thinkers on here already know this, of course.
GB News is a beefed up Talk TVQuote:

It's like Fox News in the "good ole US of A" ....mind control!Quote:

IÂ’m not sure if IÂ’m more surprised that the miniscule number of the population who watch news channels - generally the grey vote - get their news from gbnews, or whether IÂ’m more surprised that you champion it.Quote:

I personally watch bbc news occasionally, probably because itÂ’s incredibly left wing. I have tried listening to talk radio and watching gbnews to get a more rounded view and listen to other opinions but thereÂ’s always such a blatant agenda ala the mail that I just find it incredible that intelligent people donÂ’t see it.
Whatever could be your problem with Fox news? A handful here swear by itQuote:

My policy always has been that the truth, such as it exists as a singular truth anyway, lies somewhere between the Mail and the Guardian. You need to read both.
Or not. But if you want to understand the country and society you live in then it's strongly recommended!
My policy is GB News is a load of nonsenseQuote:
