New Alternative News Channel "GB News" chaired by Andrew Neil launching - read OP before posting

The new followers will be especially worrying as Sky and BBC while have already picked up a large number of its likely subscribers already whereas a new channel should be hoovering up new subscriptions as it is starting from 0. Especially odd seeing as the silent majority are behind GBnews :)

You're the one lauding the success of their Youtube stats. I'm simply pointing out that in their first few months as a new channel with more attention about their launch, they are trailing behind their more established competitors, and their youtube views aren't translating to viewers of their actual channel which will be the real determinant as to whether the channel succeeds and becomes sustainable.

Sky News and BBC News can rely on other parts of their network to compensate low viewing figures on their News channels. GB News can't.

Absolutely, but it would work a lot better if you actually engaged with the points I made in my post instead of firing out another throwaway deflection.

What exactly do you believe you have countered? The terrible viewing numbers are recorded fact, they have no other means to sustain themselves, despite your attempts to deflect and obfuscate this hasn't changed.

People are perfectly entitled to discuss the status of the channel as a whole, particularly as this is the Current Affairs forum rather than the Television forum, which may be more suited to discussion of the contents of the programming itself.

And I'm sorry, but you really haven't countered anything. Even our earlier discussion about the Youtube/Twitter numbers, you called into question using Socialblade as a source, then when I pointed out the numbers were still within a reasonable margin of error and didn't change the point I was making...

"More desperation from anti-GB News preachers!"

Who made this claim?

Coherence? The people who claim to be the champions of free speech and free expression "won't have it" when others dare to express themselves in ways they don't like.

I have to admit, I read you wrong. I had assumed that you were no different from the others who pop up here who follow those types.

I still think you're wrong about GBN but I won't write you off as the typical gullible soul who falls for the kind of nonsense that you describe.

Yeah but only by those who would prefer that their black players don't get racist abuse.

Have you not considered what an affront this is to the sorts of people who enjoy hurling racist abuse and bananas at black people?

So you are against freedom of expression? A 3 second gesture that brings no harm to anyone involved including the spectators that decided to boo this expression?

You agree that a man should get sacked, lose his job, become a victim of abuse from low I.Q Neanderthals because he chose to express himself in a way that you personally don't like even though it has no bearing on your life in any way shape or form?
