    Any update on viewing figures? I can't see any new ones yet...

    Me neither. Bit odd.

    It’s far to early to celebrate either the success or failure of this channel but I do think there is a fundamental flaw.

    Regardless of your politics, a more discerning voter can see through obvious bias and assimilate that into their opinion forming.

    The more malleable voter who is easily led by agenda biased outlets isn’t really the core market for a news channel.

    But irrespective of that, lauding an echo chamber as the solution a perceived echo chamber remains a mysterious concept to me.

    Don’t deny that but the US TV network landscape is vastly different to the UK.

    Lol, god knows where you have picked up that from. I voted to remain in the EU and mentioned countless times Europe is a stronger place for it.

    What I don't like is people living in Our Country endlessly moaning about it.

    I don't live in Your Cuntry.

    I did once. It wasn't very nice so I left. People like you were part of the reason.

    Expect more and aspire to better.

    No one got anywhere worthwhile with “it’s ok enough as bad as everywhere else”

    I think that’s the bit the PMA lot miss.

    How is it that when a BBC journalist dares to have an opinion, they are forced to apologise, yet on GBNews, this seems to be the one of main selling points of the channel? In the words of Dan Wooten, that he and his colleagues are part of a "broadcasting revolution in the UK, where presenters like me are honest about what we believe” or in Andrew Neil's opening piece he declared that GB News would not “slavishly follow the existing news agenda”, that it was not a conventional news bulletin provider but a channel built “round passionate presenters with character, flair, attitude, opinion”.
