A news channel should be a place you go to get uninterpreted facts, not somebody's spin on them. I suspect this channel's audience will consist of people who are merely wanting their own prejudices confirming.

I can only speak personally, of course, but I want to watch any news channel that doesn't support PC, woke or left-wing agendas.

So far, there is only one.

I don't support "PC, woke or left-wing agendas"; neither do I support harsh, simplistic right-wing agendas. It is also the job of a news presenter to support neither. Opinions and views should come from third party commentators, and both sides should be represented, even though I may strongly disagree with one or the other. It would seem a mindless exercise to watch what seems to predominantly be a bunch of reactionary middle aged men bouncing my pre- existing opinions back at me.

That would apply to those who resort to rudeness when their opinions are challenged. Open-mindedness, tolerance and original thinking a refreshing change.

Nigel Farage is a good orator, makes others look unversed.

He is indeed.

Which is why so many people dislike him so much!

That is only funny because I know you're not joking.

Nigel Farage is a popularist. He simply taps into the views of his target audience and repeats them back to them. He's a con man.

I dislike him because he is slimy and unpalatable.

You could be right, there are probably enough numb skulls in the population to sustain it, I'm afraid.

Well he can't be a particularly good 'popularist', going by his reception in Scotland.
I gather he doesn't particularly appeal to you personally either, but I suppose that depends upon your not agreeing with his political leanings.
