It doesnt even broadcast in HD and the graphics are a mess. Maybe it isn't descernible to you, and if you dont care or notice it's no big deal, but whenever I have watched it, it looks awful. It's kind of by the by, but since we are talking about it, I cant stress enough how cheap it looks - and is.
News isnt like that. Most news doesnt produce clickbait. You wont see the BBC writing crap clickbait like that. It's bile, dross, just something for SEO and to get clicks from facebook. It produces no journalistic value whatsoever. It's embarassing.
Farage is a very influential person in British politics. When he talks people listen. The story was covered by every major news channel. I can't see a case that this story wouldn't have happened without GB News. The BBC made an error in reporting what Coutts or Natwest told them, I cant remember which, but in fairness the CEO did lie to them, IIRC, and they apologised and corrected. They weren't burying it, they just got it wrong, it happens from time to time.
You have said they were taking on the media elite bubble, I would say pointing out that they exist as part of the media elite bubble is quite relevant. I find it quite revolting that Jacob Rees Mogg can be said to be 'speaking the language of the common folk', and often times I think people who think that don't really know what 'common folk' think. Most working class voters support net zero, for example. Most will be voting Labour at the next election, for example. We could talk about this much more in depth, but last week I saw Rupert Murdoch. Literally Rupert Murdoch, the King of western Media and literal billionaire, saying he is fighting against 'elites'. Nigel Farage discovered this years ago, and Donald Trump, with his toilet made of gold, realised it too. How people get suckered into these insanely rich people who drink a pint of beer and pretend they are part of the ordinary working people, I will never know. And I find it incredibly patronising to the wealth of diversity in the working class. The idea that you can broadcast from behind a pub bar and 'talk common sense' and that's just going to unluck the votes of millions of northerners I find incredibly patronising and insulting
The TV channel is SD I think but on YT it's 1080p, I don't really care about TV, I don't watch it.
But I'm sure they'd up it as it grows or if advertisers weren't boycotting from the get go. People could have waited for it to broadcast before wanting it shut down, definitely no agenda there...
Modern articles and content uses it and it works, that's a reality. It's annoying on many areas, you might see an article that says "this one food that leads to a happier life"
You think, typical clickbait nonsense, not clicking that. Well go on then out of interest what is the bloody thing, quick look, scroll down past the first paragraphs, ahh it's cheese, brilliant.
I said that could have happened elsewhere, but he still used it to help him, I mentioned other things too.
They certainly aren't in the media elite but I've never cared what people are, only if their message is hitting home.
Most people will have been fed things on net zero and most want to make a difference, but it's when it comes to people being hit in the picket and their lives completely disrupted, it's already been shown their support is not what you think when that happens. Yes some people at times pander to what people want to hear, but they do that on all sides.
There aren't many politicians that are like the common folk now, Labour don't stand for what they used to, I used to vote for them, not anymore.
They may well win but is anyone really any more confident in them, it's quite worrying some of the things they will do.
But I'm not actually that bothered, sometimes a change is needed as it's gone stale, not sure they are what's needed but we're stuck with a crap system that limits choice and I won't be voting either, if at all.
People absolutely hate the Labour Council in Blackpool, tbh I've often defended them in some areas. Whoever is in power will be absolutely verbally battered and it's the times we live in and we see it in many areas across society and on social media. Meltdowns, abuse, intolerance, hate under the guise of inclusion.
Looking at the bbc youtube, which is clearly a very well established news brand, they don't seem to get 14 x the number of views GB News does, given they have over 14M subs. So I don't think it's doing too bad considering.
