Is GB News in it’s death throes and are Tories helping to end it?

With three of it's - hahaha - top talent suspended, only it seems Tory MPs left and the owners up in arms is GB News finished?
Right, so GB News has had a mare of a week, completely self inflicted, to the point that even Tories that appear on the channel’s shows, that are trying to help salvage their precious platform are in fact doing the complete opposite, and seem to be ushering it’s end in all the sooner. The channel seems to be in it’s death throes, but it’s not all bad for right wing politics of course, they’ll still have the BBC. As things stand though, three of the channel’s hosts have been taken off air in the last week, so perhaps they’ll need more Tories to take over as hosts and further bring into question whether the channel is the news outlet it’s name suggests, or is that only for when OFCOM aren’t sniffing around? But with so many Tories on the payroll, that’s a valid question because at what point does the channel stop being news, if it ever starts and becomes nothing more than a propaganda machine, because it very much appears to be the latter and when that’s the case, OFCOM not shutting them down raises yet more questions and the demise of the channel actually cannot come soon enough because people are not being well served by our media, which was already bad, but with the likes of GB News about, is even worse now. The case for supporting alternative media in the UK has never been stronger.
Right, so GB News, they’ve had a rotten week and frankly they’ve deserved it, they’ve had it coming for a while, ever since they decided to be the one media outlet to not suspend Dan Wootton in light of the sexual abuse allegations that have been circulating about him, which I’ve covered in other videos. This past week that all changed though, when he decided to have a giggle alongside actor turned hard right halfwit Laurence Fox on his show at the expense of Politics Joe journalist Ava-Santina Evans, who in a BBC interview stated that she felt a minister for men fed into a culture war, the Tories do love those and it’s hard tro imagine this was dreamt up by the Tories for any other reason, though Evans later clarified she felt a minister for mental health particularly in young males had some merit, which I would absolutely agree with. Now it’s very easy for we on the left to point and jeer at the sort of stereotype we have in our heads for the average GB News viewer, but 7,300 complaints about Fox’s misogynistic rant off the back of Evans BBC interview that set Wootton off in fits of mirth were received by OFCOM off the back of it and really that gives me hope for these people, because even they recognised that Fox’s attack actually had nothing to do with what Ava-Santina Evans had said, his attack was personal, he made it about her appearance, he made it about objectifying her as a woman to Wootton’s glee.

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, to the voiceless.
