GB News, Great
Britain’s ostensibly (if mildly) conservative counterpart to the BBC, is
rapidly making itself a laughingstock of MSNBC proportions. First, the great
Mark Steyn was effectively forced from the media outlet when it attempted to push
Steyn into accepting a contract making Steyn legally
accountable for anything he or his guests might utter that British regulators
within the Orwellian Office of Communication (OfComm) might deem to be hate
speech or wrong-think. Steyn has taken legal action against OfComm after it confirmed a previous episode breached “the code.” (The
media watchdog took issue with an episode which aired on October 4 2022, and featured
an interview between the “Niche Canadian” and Dr. Naomi Wolf, who made “serious
claims” about the Covid-19 vaccine-- which, as we all know, is strictly
verboten.)
More recently, former
BBC Chief Political Correspondent John Sergeant appeared on GB News to defend the BBC’s appalling decision to not
label Hamas a terrorist organization. And what, precisely, does the “Beeb”
intend to call the bloodthirsty Hamas terrorists? “Legitimately perturbed
Palestinian nationalists?” “Mostly
peaceful Mohammedan migrants?”
GB News is
to journalism as The View is to, well…journalism.
