Slimy? Unpalatable?
Can you be more precise and specific?

I don't actually know what his political leanings are, JBR, I can only guess. He plays to his audience, I don't believe for a second that he says what he does out of conviction.

Certainly I can, JBR:

Very slimy, and very unpalatable.

The arrogance, bias and complacency of BBC and others are the reasons Gb news was launched.

GB News is not a news programme Harbal, it's a current affairs programme where people discuss topics that are in the news and would probably welcome your opinions of the channel, unlike the BBC and other media who would not allow discussion of things they don't approve of.

And they don't shout over and browbeat their guests. They simply let them have their say, just like any decent news/current affairs programme should. Compare that with Andrew Marr's constant interruption of guests, never letting them get a word in edgewise, or the deplorable QT - one big shouting match which gives voice to the biggest mouths.

How silly of me to assume that a channel calling itself GB News is trying to present itself as a news channel, Foxy.

I must admit that my opinion is based solely on the discussion I heard on the radio. Alastair Stewart, who is one of its presenters, was one of those taking part. He came across as a total nob head, which strongly influenced my opinion. It also became obvious that the channel is meant to be a mouth piece for right wing opinion, although it be just as wrong were it left wing opinion. I think this sort of thing is socially destructive.
