Nice piece of spin from @GBNEWS that their plunge to irrelevance and zero-viewership happened because a bloke took the knee on air when in truth it was doomed to fail because it was based on a fake media construct of wokery, and the belief in their own propaganda 1/4
about how out of touch everyone else was with the public. Splendid irony that their big thing was free speech but @afneil is cancelling like it has gone out of fashion and @Guto_Harri punished for, er, expressing his view. The free speech debate is another right wing construct2/4
I have never once felt unable to say what I think. Those who claim they are silenced tend to be people who really think we ought to be able to say whatever racist, sexist, homophobic thought comes into our head. There are some good people involved in @GBNEWS and I wasn’t a fan3/4
of the boycott campaign. But I think it’s failure is on balance a good thing. The real gap in our media landscape right now is proper investigative journalism and proper detailed scrutiny of government. The blah factory is already full to over-flowing 4/4
