Let's hope it can maintain its independence unlike most of our tainted MSM here in the UK.

Looking forward to this, won’t be a rolling news channel like BBC news or sky but definitely won’t be as woke either and politically will be more centre / centre right than either of them as well.

There's no such thing as cancel culture says the progressives, all it is the self righteous people thinking
and acting on your behalf so you don't have to.

I'm not sure it's doing as well as he claims.

From yesterday's "Express" online:

The latest figures will seem sobering for some of GB News' viewers and backers.

Some have started questioning whether the channel can survive.

Daily Telegraph contributor Stephen Armstrong said the channel is "in danger", stating the "declaration of war on woke" has led to more people "mocking than watching".

Speaking to Politics Home, one ex-Number 10 adviser rooting for the channel's success seemed to have lost his early optimism.

The advisor said: “I really thought it would be a success and show up all the naysayers."

He added: "I’m not sure I have been right.

“I sort of thought, there’s definitely a gap here to do a more independent, quite bold news.

"Also I really thought with the talent they got they would be onto something.”

( Sorry @HibbyDave. I'll consider my botty smacked, but you started it).

I merely stated that to deny cancel culture exists is simply not true, I wasn't calling anyone out on it, just stating
my tuppence worth.
