News-watch monitored the 18 hours of original programming broadcast by GB News between 6am and midnight on 6 July 2021 and compared its coverage of the government’s Nationality and Borders Bill on eleven of the BBC’s main television and radio programmes, along with the BBC News Channel, amounting to 27 hours and 10 minutes of BBC airtime.
The survey set out to assess whether the BBC was meeting its public purpose obligation to provide ‘a range and depth of analysis and content not widely available from other United Kingdom news providers.’
This is no surprise to me. I watch GB News now as the BBC slant everything to suit their left-leaning agenda. I also watch Al Jazeera and RT for balance and I’m aware of their agendas. I am particularly impressed with GB News dealing with free speech issues, cancel culture and providing common sense views on wacky ideas being given too much air time on other channels and tabloid media.
