GB News positions itself as a noble endeavour to widen the voices in Britain’s national debate. Which is fantastic in theory, but over the last two years the output of the channel has proved ungovernable. Alex Andreou sits down with broadcaster, and future national treasure, Dr. Matthew Sweet to ask the question, how do you control a news channel that’s like no other?
- “If you are part of the conspiracist culture - then you understand the coded language they use on GB News”
- “If you go on GB news you’re endorsing them. I don’t want to sit with them and make them equals.”
- “Why doesn’t GB news have a science editor? Because nobody with the qualifications would do the job!”
