Theres always the risk with these things that you end up promoting GB News's engagement online but I honestly don't mind it. Their pitch was clearly "we're Fox News for the UK" only they didn't realise that the entire British media establishment already is Fox News so they're unnecessary and they've been tanking since day one.

They're always boasting on twitter on any day where they might have had more viewers for a particular show than the mainstream.

That Daubney video is so so so good. Crucial viewing. No it’s CHIP CHAPMAN

Also what a name, Chip Chapman. Presumably the brother of Chap Chipman

I think GBNews is here to stay. Clips like that michael crick one play entirely into their hands. They want to be the 'no nonsense telling it like it is' news station.

It feels like the whole infrastructure of news broadcasting and journalism in the UK has fallen to pieces. There is no editorial balance, and hasn't been for a long time. All that's left are a handful of dinosaurs like Crick who think that as long as "my segment" is conducted reasonably fairly then there is balance in news (do not worry about the whole consent manufacturing of news in the UK which frames how my segment came about, or where it fits into a wider conversation).

It's very on-brand for the UK. Nobody will care that the country is faling to pieces until we lose something performative and superficial like the proms.

I've never been entirely sure who is actually watching GB News, and how that can be in sufficient numbers to pay their advertisers. It screams "collapse in a year or two" to me.

The point is to generate viral clips and have a constant presence pushing that point of view, I guess. Doesn't need to be profitable in the short term: it's the long game that matters.

Media types have constantly gone on about how our print press may be garbage but our broadcast media is extremely high standard. Then GBNews turned up and showed that was a load of poo poo. Turns out you can just be as stupid and partisan as you like with no repercussions.


Yet another aspect of the UK which falls to pieces when you look behind the curtain.

I can never tell how good it is, because every time I check online it's either the second coming of christ or the worst affront to humanity since Jeffrey Epstein.

My brother played it and apparently it's 'fun enough if you liked fallout.'

There is a time and a place for a giant bowl of unflavoured porridge, but if someone was eating it and raving about how it deserves some of those stars granted by the tyre company, you would know they need to try more foods.

No you see thats a fantasy setting full of magic nonsense, starfield cant have pronouns because its based in science fact!!!!!

In the future we'll travel the distant stars through highly scientific fast travel menus and were banning all nouns not just pronouns just to be safe.
