This should be interesting. If they even manage to do half of what they promise, it’s going to make a pleasant change.

Usual suspects in to attack it as far right propaganda in 3...2...1...

Be nice to have a news channel that doesn’t bombard us with woke stories every 2 minutes.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Definitely looking forward to this. Marketed themselves as anti-woke so it's got my attention. Anything to get away from the bbc rubbish.

I don't watch news channels, this won't be an exception.

Just in time for a Euro trade war.

Come on Rob, be better than this - you can't have a go as people attackign a news channel for being too right (before it's gone live) then almost immediately do the same for other news outlets but for being "too woke" and not find that even slightly hypocritical?

Even Boris has gone full woke now. Must be infectious

I struggle to find the hypocrisy in saying that other channels like the BBC have had a woke agenda for long time now, GB news won’t have that, therefore it will most likely be pilloried by the left wing liberals and the Guardian.

Then don't be upset if people find GBNews "right wing propaganda" if turns out to be full of right wingers peddling right wing agenda - because it's no different to what you've just done re: the BBC, Guardian etc.

I'll reserve judgement on the content until I've watched a bit, no point writing anything off in speculation

In before thread lock.

Racist news, would someone think of the listeners.

Funny that, because when I call out the BBC as woke left wing nonsense, I’ve been attacked for it, yet I’m supposed to sit back and say thing if the same is done about right leaning content.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

I’m just hoping for a return to reporting the news and leaving me to form my own opinion.

I'm just grateful we get Andrew Neil back on our screens. Right or left, he never gives anyone an easy time.

That's what RTM is for

When you think the BBC news service is too woke you have issues a new news source isnt going to fix.

And we’re off!

If I had a TV I'd probably make time to watch it and see what it's like. I suspect it might be the electronic media's equivalent of listening to conversations in a half decent pub, where opinions generally do not reflect those of many in here, or those of The Guardian's writers
