The Mail has launched a Youtube TV channel. So far it hasn't achieved critical acclaim...

Apparently the lead item was the ex Mrs Gove arguing that Vennals was the subject of a witch-hunt

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town

Sounds like Stewart Lee's Ironic Review (itself a parody of Toby Young's pisspoor magazine, The Modern Review) meets Victoria Coren-Mitchell's "Platell's opinions coin flip". Aaaaaaah! Not what you were expecting!

As the actress said to the bishop, rabbi, imam and priest
"My eyes have seen the glory, I'm a born again Atheist!"

Will they be showing "Daily Mail Island"?

Let the metropolitan elite sneer, this is TV for the silent majority. They’ve been silenced!

The half-hour runtime is divided into three parts: Nuclear Reaction (the Post Office saga), Royal Reaction (“poor old Prince Andrew”) and Allergic Reaction (the celebrity stories vexing our hosts). They also crowbar in some anti-trans rhetoric, seemingly for the sake of it.

Like a culture wars Statler and Waldorf, neither has a good word to say about anyone. Former post office operator Alan Bates is sneeringly described as a “now saintly figure”. Nicola Sturgeon is “horrible and ghastly”, George Clooney “a woke warrior”, Amal Clooney “a human rights bore”.

That review is a thing of beauty. Unlike the "show".

(I am not sure what it did to merit its 1-star.)

I’m now watching it, nothing wrong with this talking head format if the commentators have something to add or they’re comics. These two are just talking wiffle.

YouTube is going to be an interesting platform for them to espouse the editorial line on, what with how transparent the metrics are there.

As discussed here, passim, the dead-tree Mail has its figures boosted by large scale "free" copies handed out to customers of other enterprises. The numbers for MailOnline are similarly gussied up by the sidebar of SEO counting (mostly) Yanks looking for the latest tales of borderline celebrities as Mail readers.

YouTube isn't really like that, and it will be interesting to see the numbers that will seek out a hit of the pure ideology.

We regard capitalist journalism as an effective weapon in the hands of a well-informed, but utterly unscrupulous, enemy, rather than merely as an unbiased recorder of passing events.
