Andrew Neil: Ofcom needs to grow a backbone over regulating GB News

1. Take GB News off free to view tv, make people have to go online, would be a start.

2. Why won’t someone stop this curse that’s unleashed says man who was part of expedition that opened the tomb in the first place.

3. “It may be because the rest of the broadcast universe is on the centre, centre-left so it gave GB news a bit more leeway to settle down.”

   ITV News, Sky News and Five news say hi. At the very least they’re centre-right compared to GBeebies’ insane right.

   Seriously, what is this right wing obsession with claiming all media is left wing when they have a significant portion of the news media spouting their viewpoint all the time?

4. The catch 22 is that anything Ofcom does to regulate GB News validates the deep state conspiracy theories their audience loves.

   We live in an age where the proliferation of social media means people trust idiots on the internet over actual experts on subjects.

5. Bit bloody rich him coming out with that. I mean, he helped usher it in

6. They also have to grow a backbone in regards to sorting out the postal service

7. GB news doesn’t follow msm narrative and they absolutely hate it .. anything that pisses them off I’m all for . Hence why it’s so popular

8. Ridiculous hypocrite. Did he ever acknowledge that all the things people said about this station before it launched, that he defended and insisted wouldn’t happen, did happen? He should be shown his tweets from the time and be forced to acknowledge his extreme gullibility.

9. TV broadcaster demands regulator go after his competitor. More at 11.

10. Ofcom has been forged in the tories image sooo yeah that’s not very likely to happen is it Andrew

11. It’s what happens when you have a government like we do. Weak when it comes to regulation

12. All the irony and hypocrisy of Andrew Neil rolled up into a single sentence.

    He happens to be right in this instance, but you’d struggle to find a less credible source.

13. You could say the same about of OFGEM and OFWAT.

    Its almost as if something has been weakening our regulators.

14. Lolwtf?! Who would listen to this lying sentient ham.

15. Gee Andrew, if only the party you supported hadn’t turned OFCOM into a joke!

16. My mum is watching this network and thinks it’s legitimate. 

17. But GB news isn’t news. In fact I’d like them to be made to change their name. It’s on par with America where instead of giving news and the facts, the damn hosts are giving their opinions.

    That’s not unbiased or news
