Wootton really likes the word ‘evidence’ doesn’t he?
Langham post_id=20141 time= user_id=1625 Wrote:Andrew Neil as a veteran journalist is quite clearly weary of unguarded or misleading comments from anchors. He corrected Wootton for claiming that scientists have been saying the vaccine "smashed the link" between cases and hospitalisations, when instead they have only said the link has been weakened. Neil last night emphasised that the channel would be rigorous in terms of journalistic standards, and doesn't want to start a slippery slope.
That might be a challenge with Wootton right after his slot.
Well I'm enjoying this more than last night…
So Dan Wootton has now called someone airing their view as performing a character assassination and deliberately misquoting people. I did note he said he had been double jabbed.
I think most people would assume that a 38 year old hasn't been double jabbed, and would question how he managed to get two doses so early. Also it's something that is relevant to his views as it's easy for him to come out with such things when he has protection many others don't.
Anything that the host agrees with goes unchallenged but he literally starts on anyone who doesn't agree with him or someone else and starts asking them for proof, something the other side never is asked for. Proper news holds all sides to account and asks both sides to back up their claims, but that simply isn't happening here.
This is what you would expect from Fox News, so whatever Andrew Neil says, they are acting just like them, I'm all for open debate and everyone to air their views, but my biggest issue with this show is that the host isn't interested in having a proper balanced discussion even in the debate parts. They should rename the channel to GB Views, because that what it is, not news.

He ignores a lot of decent counter arguments and just yells louder, perfect host for this station.
I thought it was noteworthy the channel didn't seem to pick up any breaking stories during the day such as the BBC Bashir report or the rebuke from Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle over the leaking of the delay to the lifting of COVID restrictions to the media.
I had no idea Megyn Kelly was a "Megastar" as Mr Wootton has told us. Most British viewers have no idea who she is.
Wooton being ripped a new one on his own show here, including by other GBN staffers.

They haven't really covered anything today, visually.

Dan has said he contracted Covid last year, so I guess this is why he got his two jabs.

GB News isn't like Fox News, not at all.
Dan Wootton goes full Tucker Carlson, goes off on a complete political rant, spews a load of conspiracy theories yesterday, calls people idiots and and then invites someone best known for appearing on Fox News on to the show.
Clearly,
nothing like fox news.

Even less reason to have two jabs then, because you should already have some antibodies.
Starts to make sense about the lack of social distancing, though.....

Remember, they now conclude that people who had been infected with Covid only keep antibodies for no more than 9 months. So having the vaccine is needed too for them.
Looking into the wrong camera, textbook Wootton.
