So we've got Marxists from failed socialists states funding HD TV commercials which they don't want shown on Andrew Neil's capitalist TV station. Which looks as if its all produced on a mobile or a laptop, with no lip synch in evidence anywhere
Launching a TV News channel with even lower production values that your average nut-job Youtube channel is really some achievement, it must be said. Or maybe its just what their intended audience has come to expect, if not any potential advertisers.

Indeed. His head must be shaped like that of the Mekon.

When my wife was working in a hospital, she noticed that some of the patients' records were marked with a prominent code: "E6". When she enquired about that, it turned out that E6 is the PostCode for Barking.

Your usual weird logic. Actually I watch those channels.

It's terrible that you think that all non-leftwingers are racists.

Well there are mugs in every generation. CND was another - a Commie-funded organisation supported by the mugs du jour.

Some leftwingers are racists too:

Now who "complained in 1996 that the 'blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls' in her local hospital in east London were unsuitable as nurses because they had 'never met a black person before'.
Clue: it wasn't Enoch Powell

She wouldn't be the only black presenter working there.
But you, of course, cannot know that as yet.

So where is the market research that says what GB news demographic is?
The bigotry comes in you *prejudging* what you *think* its demographic is...
I only saw the first survey results *today* - about the only thing it said is that it didn't appeal to young people on benefits
Otherwise it was balanced male/female and across socio-economic class but strongly biased towards older people. well who else has time to watch daytime TV.
And apart from 'news at ten', more popular than sky and BBC combined
So absolutely no reason to stop advertising on it unless you are advertising absolutely for the young. Nobody advertises to the bottom economic class anyway because they have f*ck all money.

In the hands of the company(ies) who commissioned it.
Funny how you like to twist and turn isn't it? I posited that companies that withdrew their advertising may have found that its demographic did not match their target audience. From that you wildly assume that I am prejudging its audience demographic. You asked if I had watched it, I said some and was not impressed other than by Neil. From that you assume I'm bigoted (because I don't happen to give it the same level of approval as you do.
You are the one in this conversation who has remarkably closed views. The world is changing - some for the better and some for the worse. It is refreshing that various 'isms' are now being challenged and hopefully that will continue until such time as genuinely free opportunities are open to all who are skilled enough for the post.
Yeah - a balance of ABC1 at 82% I'd be interested to see a more detailed breakdown of that category.
"57% of GB News? opening show?s audience was male, while 52% were aged 65 years or older and 82% were from the ABC1 demographic."
Old white males in other words. Rather like you I guess.
"Among those who have financed the channel, whose offices are in the Paddington area of the capital, are the Brexit-backing hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall. Investors also include Lord Farmer and Lord Spencer, who have both served as treasurers of the Conservative party"
Yep some good variation of right and left wing there.

Given you bring race into so many of your posts, what do you expect?

Quite. When I glanced at it, the audio levels were some 10dB lower than the normal. Lighting more illumination than art.
I'd guess they've dispensed with any pro technicians so they can afford the enormous fees for the likes of Andrew Neil.

Is it so hard to tell the difference between one person (whether or not you are right about that person) and the rest of a group consisting of millions of people?
