They did that A VERY LONG TIME AGO. Plus it is far, far too late for Larry to complain about it. He really should have mentioned The Cunctator, the first harbinger of the paranoid-hate-read leftists who eventually controlled it. All this crap started with Cunc manipulating and up-sucking to Jimbo in return for "certain changes", wayyy back in 2001-2002. I suspect Cunc was one of the people pushing Wales to kick Sanger out. Cuncy-boy also used that early "power" to do silly things like write long screeds attacking Jack Abramoff.
And they continue to control it. Inevitably the Wikipedia article about GB News (a relatively new channel) takes cheap shots at them. Have yourself a perfect example of Wikipedia "hate read" material.
"based on what they thought it would represent"? They had not even seen it yet, and were screaming for a boycott?The channel launched to a mixed reception.[94][95] Judith Woods, writing for The Telegraph two days after the channel's launch, described it as "unutterably awful; boring, repetitive and cheapskate", rating it one out of five stars. Chris Bennion of The Telegraph rated it four out of five stars, writing, "On launch night, the GB News message came through loud and clear – despite glitches."[94][96] Jemima Kelly wrote for the Financial Times, "GB News is so tedious, so lacking in nuance, so whiny and frankly so low-quality, it is actually making me more sympathetic to the cause of those they deem 'woke'."[97]
In February 2021, four months before the station began broadcasting, the pressure group Stop Funding Hate called for advertisers to boycott the station, based on what they thought it would represent.[98]
In June 2021, following the station's launch, several brands including Vodafone, IKEA, Kopparbergs Brewery, Grolsch, Nivea, Pinterest, Specsavers and Octopus Energy paused their advertising on the channel, expressing concerns over its content. Some of these advertisements had been placed on the brands' behalf without their knowledge, by Sky Media through their advertising opt-outs during GB News's schedule.[99][100][101] The Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden, criticised Stop Funding Hate and what he described as "a vocal Twitter minority" for calling for the advertising boycott.[102][103]
Checked the history, yes there are British leftists controlling it, as well as the usual maniac robots. I have no idea who Andysmith248 is, but he wrote this petty little article specifically to snipe at Theresa May--something he clearly loves to do. My nomination for Stupid Article Of The Month:
