Not if you're standing where Toby "Freeze Peach" Young is.

We can discuss Kuenssberg's scorecard if you like:
Another election, three more "whoopsies" which completely coincidentally played the tory tune.

I hope none were foolish enough to consider offers to run for vacant Tory constituencies.

GB News could face Ofcom punishment after breach

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyxxlge97deo
Ofcom has said it is considering a statutory sanction against GB News, after the channel was found to have broken due impartiality rules.

The broadcast regulator announced in February it was investigating a Q&A session which saw Prime Minister Rishi Sunak take questions from the public.

On Monday, Ofcom said it had concluded the programme, called People's Forum: The Prime Minister, broke its broadcasting rules.

"Given this represents a serious and repeated breach of these rules, we are now starting the process for consideration of a statutory sanction against GB News," Ofcom said.

I’m assuming the transgression was the lack of diverse opinion among the audience. Sounds like small beer compared to the far right poison this channel spews out on a daily basis.

GBN sets a dangerous precedent that there is no such thing as balanced news reporting or objective truths. Highlighting facts that zealots and dumbarses don’t want to hear is liberal/lefty bias in their heads.

Another of the better known ones at GB News has been sacked.

I still can't believe that the BBC let The Money Programme die. I'd have thought Finance was something GB News could have gone for, which they could have done within the regular GB News framework. No shortage of "businessmen with a sense of destiny" to do that. But I guess, it cost more money that having another hour moaning about rainbow lanyards.

As someone BTL puts it, "Rebecca, you think Bev has proof that her theories are right but are holding back because the details were revealed in a private conversation with Matthew Sweet?"

So she turns around, and she's like .......

With Rees-Mogg, Lee Anderson, Nigel Farage and Philip Davies about to step away from GB News over the election period the station is worried that it might be understaffed for the next 6 weeks. Its remaining presenters could end up having to work double shifts to plug the gaps.

If only they were part of a union they would be able to rebel against these unacceptable working practices.

It has been fun this week watching various GB News presenters attacking Labour's policy on fee paying schools. These presenters have been arguing that they wouldn't be where they are today without fee paying schools. I really think it is the best argument I have ever heard for closing down every fee paying school in the country. I would be mightily disappointed if I had spent a small fortune sending my kids to a fee paying school so they could end up working on a right wing news channel that hardly anybody bothers to watch.
