Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Nearly 50% of all broadcast media stories concerning Muslims were broadcast on GB News & no, they were not heart-warming stories about how communities were engaging on charitable works....

A new report sets out pretty clear where those who are inclined to see Muslim conspiracies are get their stories from.

GB News is not so much a news organisation, as a bigots & haters' megaphone!

Next step should be for OFCOM to step in... but will it?

The Guardian · The unhinged presentation of Muslims on GB News has been exposed. What will Ofcom do about it?By Miqdaad Versi

@ChrisMayLA6
Given that the KGBeebies pitch from the start was: For Empire Loyalists By Empire Loyalists this is scarcely surprising.

@ChrisMayLA6
No real fucking surprises there then, let's shut the awful racist shit hole down then

@ChrisMayLA6 Naming and shaming the companies that advertise on on GB 'News' would be a start, and boycotting them and any other sources of their income ...

@ChrisMayLA6

If they get a slap on the wrist from Ofcom, they'll add some 'balance' to the on air shows by inviting even more chancers and useful idiots for some both-sidesism. They don't care about the broadcast channel, the value to them are the edited short clips and soundbites for Twitter, Youtube, Tiktok. etc. Those clips do very well, especially overseas.

@TonyJWells

yes, that's a really good pint on the clip generation aspect of their operation.... [bosted]
