Right wing media? You obviously don?t watch BBC news or Sky news then mate?
Anyhow looking at the latest polls it looks like the number of gutter rats and those suffering from brain rot is growing, that stupid left wing labelling not really workings anymore is it?
Just like Spireitetoo alluded to further up, people have had enough.

Please explain what the BBC and/or Sky does that you consider to be 'left wing'.

Doesn't have to be everything, just the main bullet points.

Anti Trump reporting, pro government reporting , assisting in the narrrative of labelling people with concerns as far right. Ignoring the regular protests by farmers that get no coverage, biased reporting of the pro Palestine marches, the inability to call Hamas a terror organisation even when our government prescribe them as one.
Watch GB news and you?ll get a much more balanced view. That?s why their viewing figures are growing whilst the other two are collapsing. You?ve only gift to look at the clip of the public saying what they think of the two news channels outside court yesterday.
Watershed time in UK politics and tv news.

Have they been calling for an end to capitalism? If not, then they're not left wing are they.

Anti Trump reporting - the MSM is liberal, they dislike politicians who don't adhere to their accepted standards of how things 'should' be done. Trump doesn't so they are not going to be fans of him. TBF he also has a lot of abhorrent policies, and to be even fairer the media and liberals/centrists wouldn't care if those exact same policies were coming from a politician they did like

pro government reporting - they were same when the Tories were in power, they have to cosy up continue getting access


Ignoring the regular protests by farmers that get no coverage - they got plenty of coverage, more than fringe events like that normally get

biased reporting of the pro Palestine marches - I agree if you mean biased against those marching FOR Palestine, I suspect you don't. funny how you think they're supporting the thing you don't like and not supporting the thing you do like isn't it?

the inability to call Hamas a terror organisation even when our government prescribe them as one - do you want them to editorise, or to unbiasedly report the news, make your mind up. plus I thought you just said they were pro government?!

That's why their viewing figures are growing whilst the other two are collapsing - less people sit down and watch the news nowadays because they don't have to, so their figures can only go one way. GB news has 12 viewers, so when that goes up 500% or whatever the figure actually is, it's not impressive

Watch GB news - no

Just levels out the inadequacies of the BBC and SkyN. Did you see the meltdown on US election night on CH4 news were the female presenter had to be taken off air mid broadcast because of her anti Trump meltdown?
Have you seen the clip from outside court yesterday were Sophie Ridge of SkyN made the fingers across the throat gesture, an appalling error in hindsight given the crime in question, when she wanted the interview cutting because the interviewee was giving answers she and Skynews didn?t want to hear?

There are more lefties on GB news than you can shake a stick at. Lots of balance.

Yes, and as I've literally just said that's not because they are "left wing"

Would you class them as impartial?

So if you think neither of those two are particularly impartial with side of the political fence do you think they side with?
GB news offer far more airtime to those with a different opinions to other reps than the other channels.

IMO the BBC is middle of the road centrism, but can veer to the right on some social issues. Trans issues for example. Sky is soft conservativism - bit to the right of the BBC as a whole.

GB news are to the right of Sky, their whole raison d'etat is obviously as a reaction to the other two being too 'left wing' so that stands to reason. They do seem to get left leaning guests on, but only really as an excuse to have a go at them for being 'loony lefties' or whatever, it's not as a way of giving their views any kind of legitimacy - I've no idea why those guests would go on tbh

Not a stabbing or a bombing, does it have to be that severe before it gets a mention?
But here?s some more vile behaviour.

Not really the behaviour you?d expect from a doctor / engineer / barrister coming to these shores .

How on earth can you come here illegally, commit multiple offences of this nature and not be booted out?

Constant links to non whites committing crimes

Exactly as in this article

https://www.bbc.co.u...es/c0lz0zxryygo

Exactly the start of this sort of thing.
Starts with a few jibes about immigration, then blaming immigrants for poor society, posting after scouring the net for negative stories, then take it a dangerous stage further.

Scary to see this happening on here with a few people

Not nearly as scary as those in society who appear to wish to brush over, downplay, deflect and even cover-up these awful crimes being committed.

Something that appears has gone on for a number of years.

I wouldn?t describe GB news as balanced news but it does bring balance to news compared to the BBC
