TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted July 16, 2021 48 minutes ago, Herman said: Downfall parody alert!!! It is a good one. Â Bit of an error when one set of subtitles went to four lines. Usually the rough aim is two lines of around 55 characters. Otherwise they take up too much of the screen. (has done some AV translation work in the past, but chooses not to specialise in it).

Bill 1,788 Posted July 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Herman said: Downfall parody alert!!! It is a good one.  it's almost as if they asked some of their viewers to turn up in their weekend clothes "Instead of the slick, well-oiled outrage and misinformation juggernaut that Fox News has become, GB News instead resembles nothing more than a community radio station. Most of the channel’s output is blandly inoffensive – the offence instead comes from its production values. The picture quality is often fuzzy, the sound levels are all over the place and frequently drop out altogether" The problem is that it's audience already get their fix of hate and bile elsewhere. This idiocy has the choice of trying to stay clear of becoming totally fruitcake so as to retain some advertisers - or trying to match at least what it's audience gets elsewhere, and lose any credibility, and revenue. Events in the past week or so have shown that this type of bigotry has hit its high water mark and is now fast receding. Johnson and the ragbag of racists in his cabinet came out of the Euros very badly. Brexit continues as a damaging shambles by the week, and the so called 'freedom day' is just another example of a spineless PM governing by opinion poll. There is no social care plan as the bloated buffoon claimed two years ago, neither is there any idea of what levelling up means, or how it is to be achieved. The fat cretin asked, yesterday, for folk to email in ideas ! The carnage in Leicester Square before the Euro final, and the subsequent chaos and total mismanagement of the ticketing at the stadium were merely a reflection of the disaster the righties, and this incompetent PM, have wrought on the country. It will get a lot worse, I'm afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted July 16, 2021 It's certainly getting a lot worse at LHH TV (Lord Haw Haw TV) "GB News has been plunged into crisis as news of a senior executive’s resignation ... the rightwing TV channel is contending with other staff considering leaving amid management upheaval, and John McAndrew, the channel’s director of programming, has also quit the station." "Some senior off-air staff are understood to have left in recent days amid ongoing turmoil following the channel’s disastrous launch.....they include Gill Penlington, a respected and experienced producer at rolling news channels such as CNN and Sky News" Many more are expected to jump ship in response to GBNews supposed policy of 'freedom of speech' 'You can have any view you like, as long as it is anti black'    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted July 17, 2021 I can exclusively reveal the script for the first show. Hello! I'm Nigel Farage. Woke ramble on for 20 minutes. Snowflakes ramble on for 20 minutes. Here's some footage of my successful speaking tour of the States. The empty seats are just people going to the toilet or spending vast amounts of money at the merchandising. Main (possibly Lame) Stream Media ramble on for 20 minutes. End the programme with an item about investments with www.sendyourmoneytoNigel.con flashing above the bottom of the screen.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you say it will probably get few deluded believers viewng again but doesn't look remotely like a route to long term viability  😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fully expect them to go down the Fox fake news route now. They clearly can't compete with the much more sophisticated balanced news networks so there's really only this option left. They will have to gamble everything on the hope that there's enough RWNJs out there who want their gammon red flushes re-stoked each day with manufactured stories of "woke" outrages. It will be interesting to see whether Andrew Neil will be able to tolerate his journalistic career ending in such ignominy. It's hard to see how he could justify working alongside the egregious lying spiv Farage, but I suspect he will go the minute they give a slot to Kate Hopkins (or someone similar). The same point surely holds of the likes of McCoy and any other of the career journalists brought in to lend the channel some sort of news credibility.

Is Gammon News going to turn out to be some great parody of reality TV? Hard to explain what else accounts for the self-proclaimed bastion against "wokeness" and "cancel culture" cancelling the freedom of speech of a key journalist because of the complaints of a few racists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I read somewhere that Andrew Neil is taking a long extended holiday at his home in France, which seems strange timing to say the least - so wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he decides to 'quietly' retire and stay there. Difficult to comprehend what his thinking was behind getting involved such an aberration as Gammon News but whatever his rationale was at the time, he must surely realise by now that he made a gigantic mistake in ever getting involved - hubris in action, I know most Gammon News viewers don't know what it means but I'm quite sure Andrew Neil does 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you by any chance referring to the news item following a report that established black women are 4 times more likely to die in childbirth? If you are then you have just proved that you are indeed racist, if you think 10 minutes spent on that shocking fact is over the top or not newsworthy.

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted July 19, 2021 The BBC certainly isn't left-wing, not with this government in power. Usually, if the BBC has a political bias, it tends to be relatively softly in favour of the government of the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
