Yikes, Colin has gone off the deep end. And this sort of clip just sums up the state of the channel and how it doesn't match the hype it gave pre launch. It said it would cover stories that are undercovered and be all about free speech then you get a presenter ranting that somebody at the BBC has a view they might disagree with and covering a proper 'media bubble' story. Does Donna from Doncaster give two hoots who Jim Waterson and Jess Braemer are or who’s in charge of the BBC News Channel - one big criticism of the current media anyway is that it covers the media far too heavily and GB News seem even worse at that then the usual mainstays.
Frankly Murdoch seems to have outthought GB News. He's let them run first and make a show of themselves and make all the errors and draw all the ire so then he can launch his output and it'll likely draw less ire and have learnt from the lessons of GB News.
