    Tuned into Sky News for a second, one report is about some US police officer who shot a black man when she mistakenly intended to use a taser, and the Sky reporter linked it to George Floyd. How on earth would that case be of any interest to the British public? The guy had an arrest warrant on him btw.

    Since GBN came on the scene SKY News have upped their reporting on the channel crossing migrant issue. They're taking the traffickers angle on it. Well yeah, what took so long. That's been going on for gods knows how long but all of a sudden their sending the best on the case. Funny that.

    Looks like they're officially peddling the anti-vaxx stuff now. Makes sense I suppose. Being at the extreme end of the spectrum all but necessitates this.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Seriously like "my hairdresser is a reliable source" is up there with the fella down the pub who swears blind that something is true because "his sister's cousins friends plumber" said he saw it.

    No surprise GBnews would be any vaxx with the likes of Oliver being involved.

    It seems to be common among the loony right to be anti vaxx and I bet many here on this thread from the looney right would probably defend anti vaxx comments

    Exactly! Its utter nonsense and worthy of derision! I do hope that at the very least, our resident GB news cheerleader crew can at least accept that anti-vax and in particular vaccine scare BS is not worthy of their acceptance and support.

    Sky has reported on the migrants crossing the entire time, as have the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4. It's one of many, many news stories on these channels, because there is a whole lot of news to report on.

    This accusation was levelled months ago, and people were able to bring up dozens of times that reports were made over the years about the issue, long before GBNews existed.

    GBeeBies is doubling down on the same stuff repeatedly though in an attempt to create a scare and no more

    I'm a Brit, the way GB News reports the migrant crossings is completely different to the BBC and ITV etc.

    When the BBC reports the crossings they interview a left wing organisation that advocates letting economic immigrants in. When GB News reports on the migrant crossings they interview some Australian politician that advocates processing the economic immigrants on an offshore island and not giving them passports.....

    Why is an Australian relevant to channel crossings ? The man would not have a clue about the problems faced in the channel. He is only on because he speaks to the far right bubble that GBnews is for.

    And many on here myself included lived in the UK so you dont need to be a "Brit" to know how BBC covers the refugees

    Because Australia had a problem with boat loads of economic migrants turning up and claiming asylum? Basically the exact same thing with economic migrants fleeing France to claim asylum in the UK?

    Australia dealt with economic migrants by putting them in an offshore detention centre... the migrants stopped coming....

    You GB News haters really seem to hate freedom of speech..... what you doing for the rest of the day? Maybe burning some books?

    Australia is apparently quite xenophobic so it follows that GBeebies' miniscule viewership sees them as quite the role model.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    No they haven't.

    They reported on the situation in Calais France, but they never reported on the numbers of lives crossing the channel on a daily basis. It's up to one thousand per day currently.

    They never emphasized the numbers.
