Miscellaneous Corner

Boy was GB News' launch utter crap - no news (they clearly don't have the budget), just the same old overexposed rich late middle aged faces patting themselves on the back for saying the same op-ed stuff they've been saying on the BBC and ITV and in the papers for years to each other. Same media bubble suspects, but not even neatly wrapped to make it look new. Amateur hour 'technical problems' only added to the tedium. Part of one interview with a a presenter (yep, interviewers interviewing interviewers about how great and brave they are seems to be all they're offering, which is a waste of time when Andrew Neil is the country's best political interviewer) wasn't even in synch. It was just a media luvvies echo chamber love-in

Still, if it lasts six months (even Alan Sugar called out the fact they'd sold no ads) it'll mean a probable format change for Alan Partridge's next show.
