pellinore Posted September 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) In an extraordinary first, GBNews has had more complaints than actual viewers after the interview was posted on X (Twitter). The Independent reports: During last night’s broadcast, host Dan Wootton failed to challenge his guest and laughed along to Fox’s comments, who continued: “We need powerful, strong amazing women who make great points for themselves. We don’t need these sort of feminist 4.0. They’re pathetic and embarrassing. Who’d want to shag that?” Fox’s shocking comments came in response to Evans’ recent statements during an episode of BBC Politics Live on Monday (25 September) about male mental health. After failing to intervene to stop Fox’s outburst, and chuckling when Fox asked, “who’d want to shag that?”, Wootton made a belated attempt to defend Ms Evans. Laurence Fox widely condemned for ‘disgusting, misogynistic’ GB News rant about journalist Ava Evans | The Independent Ofcom probes GB News after ex-Lewis star Laurence Fox is suspended for vile sexist rant: TV station in crisis after presenter says live on air of woman journalist 'Who would want to s**g that?' | Daily Mail Online Edited September 28, 2023 by pellinore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interview Dan Wootton was clearly uncomfortable, he did laugh, but to me that laugh wasn`t at finding it funny it was more a kind of laugh people give when they are in a situation where they dont know how to deal with something. While he didn`t challenge Fox he did kind of start defending her towards the end pointing out she is a beautiful woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It portrays that they are more in touch then the BBC. They are already outpacing BBC, ITV and Channel 4.

itsnotoutthere Posted September 29, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Funny people calling for the channel to be shut down over this, and yet we've endured years of the BBC, ITV & Channel 4 harboring kiddie fiddlers & assorted sex offenders & yet they're still here.

itsnotoutthere Posted September 30, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 30, 2023 There’s an awful lot of manufactured outrage at Laurence Fox’s remarks about some poisonous feminist the other evening. Blimey, you’d think he’d suggested homicide. He only said he wouldn’t sh@g her. Big deal… Bunter Boulton was immediately out of the traps, wanting GB News closed down…as were a number of other vested interests. In the words of John McEnroe, “You cannot be serious”. Blimey, Channel 4, has inflicted endless dross on the British public, including the man they’re now accusing of rape, but carries on, unchallenged. The BBC, knowing full well that Jimmy Savile was a nonce, gave him his own teatime show, where little girls came and sat on his lap. No problem there… And they don’t like us to mention the excruciating Huw Edwards debacle…because the poor chap is having breakdown. He just gets sympathy. Even the repulsive Piers Morgan felt he had to get in on the act and said he found Laurence Fox “Obnoxious.” Does that reptilian creature have no sense of irony?

pellinore Posted October 1, 2023 Author #17 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Now, after apologising, he has started ranting again. It seems he was triggered by GBN issuing a statement which, unusually for them, is actually accurate: It comes as GB News, which is known as the 'home of free speech', defended its decision to suspend Fox in an internal email to staff which challenged the 'falsehood that conflates free speech with a right to verbally abuse'.

What you mean is he hasn't been convicted yet. In Huw Edward's care, the other man involved has said there hasn't been a crime and the police are not involved. In Fox's case, he is the victim, of his own hubris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at their presenters: Mad Nad Dories, 30p Lee Neanderthal, "Failure" Farage, a Covid conspirator, and Rees Mogg. A few people may tune in for a laugh when they trend on Twitter, but that's about it. It won't grow, the IQ of the general public is too high.

The viewers aren't tuning in for a laugh, they're pleased a channel that's not leftist, woke or biased is available to them and despite the vile name calling aimed at them, they continue to grow. In fact the name calling drives people towards them. And the name calling of the viewers, (things like the inference the viewers must have a low IQ) just signals the way.
