Thanks.

Completely agree with this Rob, nearly every time I ask a question or post a comment I always get a sarky comment...

Agreed, Rob.

I actually don't really like GB News that much but the level of vitriol towards it from the virtue signallers on the forum is quite deafening sometimes.

For example, when watching Sky News last night (around 8pm I believe), the caption said "TOP STOREIS".

Had that occured on GB News, it would descend into a righteous, indignent 30-post bitch thread about the channel.

If you don't like it, don't watch it. I'm certainly not watching it.


GB News - Jon - 24-08-2021

The thing is they’ll be issues daily on GB News forever more. But there is on every news channels, such is the nature of a 24/7 operation. From the bit I’ve seen recently the issues seem to be far less apparent now and perhaps don’t all need a mention. However it was fair to mention the continuous issues at launch because they were making the channel unwatchable, now it’s watchable if you like their content.


GB News - Inspector Sands - 24-08-2021

One of my pet hates in news is when a reporter or guest is interviewed down the line even when they're in the same building or room (in fact I've worked on programmes that do that much to my annoyance) . But this takes that to a whole new level.

I could understand it if they were mad keen on social distancing but even so there are ways round that. Although maybe they are all 2 metres apart but they can't get the cameras back far enough?

I’ve not seen tonight’s show, but for Tonight Live in the past all 3 of them were sat on the same sofa not even 1 metre apart? So this camera set up is very unnatural.


GB News - London Lite - 24-08-2021

I thought when they do the four way split on Tonight Live is when Mark or Dan move to the Andrew Neil set, while the other three guests stay on the sofa.

They do (and they were doing in that picture) - you can tell by the backdrop behind Mark (which is on the screen in the Andrew Neil area).


GB News - Ash101 - 25-08-2021

Ah yes, sorry, my mistake. Mark is in that area (which I think is only opposite the sofa bit anyway?), but I am pretty sure the 3 guests are all sat next to each other looking down the barrel while talking.

Yes - that's correct. I'd imagine the split-screen thing is because of Mark being too far away for a wide shot.


GB News - derek500j - 25-08-2021

It's a good way of seeing all the guests' reactions simultaneously, without having to have a director cutting back and forth.

Latest Guardian piece on GBN, which says the Labour peer Andrew Adonis was originally meant to present alongside Farage.

It also includes references to Calvin Robinson’s dangerous advocacy of alternative Covid therapies the other day:

Bizarre bit at the end which says "Simon McCoy, the ex-BBC presenter whose lack of on-screen chemistry with co-host Alex Phillips could be excruciating". Did the author actually watch McCoy & Phillips, because many (including myself) thought that they were the best pairing on the channel. Each to their own, I guess.

I too thought Simon and Alex worked very well together.

It was a good duo and humour too.

Agreed, they seemed (and I believe are) genuinely good friends. I don't like reading a GB News article in the Guardian or Independent, you can guarantee that it'll just be paragraph upon paragraph of GB News bashing. Same that if you read a Spectator article, it'll probably put a more positive spin on things.
