Inevitable I suppose, once all the people watching to take the piss got bored. Only the core audience left.

 

 

 

Surely Neil has caught COVID and given the GB News narrative can’t admit it.

But isn't the whole point to in effect create YouTube clips that get passed on and lead people even further down the bias algorithm wormhole? Presumably just by being there they are moving elements of the discourse to the right.

 

I've walked past their offices a few times and they certainly seem well staffed and well funded from the outside. I do wonder what a left wing platform could do if they were receiving wads of piled up I'll gotten gains, but then that would never happen as it would not be to said backers advantage. GB news are a inevitable outgrowth of our ridiculous inequality.

GB News battles to counter slide in viewers

 

Andrew Neil’s upstart news channel GB News is battling to arrest a slide in viewers, with its audience halving since its high-profile launch just two weeks ago.

 

GB News has attracted just over 1m viewers a day in recent days, according to industry figures. This compares to a peak of 2.2m on June 14, its first full day on the air.

 

The data from BARB, which compiles television ratings, is likely to add to questions about the prospects for the right-leaning station, whose launch has been beset by technical difficulties, an advertising boycott and an unexpected break for Mr Neil, its star presenter.

 

While GB News has consistently beaten its rival Sky News during Mr Neil’s primetime 8pm-9pm slot, its average audience sits consistently behind the channel, which it has said it wants to match.

 

Sky News’ daily audience has averaged between 2.5m and 3m in recent days, while the BBC news channel averages more than 4m. The figures cover broadcast television watching, not viewing on PCs or tablets.

 

GB News landed on British televisions this month with Mr Neil promising to “puncture the pomposity of our elites in politics, business, media and academia", and opening night figures eclipsed those of Sky and BBC News combined.

 

However, it has been hit by teething problems such as cut-off feeds and autocue mistakes, with Mr Neil admitting the channel has had a “rocky start” last week when he announced he would take a few weeks off.

 

Its average audience was around 33,000 last week, down from 42,800 in its first week, according to the BARB figures. While the channel surpassed Sky News and occasionally the BBC during key timeslots in its first week, it has largely fallen behind its rivals since.

 

Jamie McGowan Stuart of media researcher Enders Analysis said GB News had succeeded in winning over a dedicated audience even if viewing numbers were below what the channel might have hoped for.

 

“It is becoming clear that fewer and fewer are experimenting with the channel, but it is finding a core audience. There was always going to be a launch pop and then a decline,” he said.

 

A GB News spokesman did not comment.

Once all the people watching it to take the piss got bored the figures were always going to drop off.

If you think GB news is left wing woke you are so far to the ignorant right you've curved back round upon yourself enough to whisper words of hate in your own left ear.

[Anubis]

Is Andrew back from his hiatus, or is he still hiding away in his French villa?

[Section_31]

You stay the hero just long enough to become the villain.

I was having an argument with someone in the YouTube comments section yesterday who was claiming the Tories are a far left party.

 

Obviously I pulled the cunt up on this but the prick went further, stating that Thatcher was also left wing and Mussolini was a socialist.

 

I mean seriously, what can you do?

The education system is fucked. Of a bigger concern is that no wonder there are so many bad drivers on the road with not knowing their left from their right.

Answering my own question.

Mussolini started out as a Socialist Politician. Also the Fascist Party in Italy and the Nazi party in Germany had lots of Socialist elements to their policies (i.e. National Socialist Party). It perhaps should be remembered that Nationalism in the mid-19th Century was a radical left wing ideology. All three modern philosophies (Liberalism, Nationalism and Socialism) began as intertwined doctrines (liberty, equality and fraternity) and hence there is no clear distinction between them. Indeed Socialists and Communists only moved from a national to an international ideology in the last third of the 19th century.

 

Though I suspect the youtube guy would not understand these nuances and was just a thick twat

Most of these people don't know what left means, what they think it means is 'not cunty enough'.
