Well, they've achieved one emulation of Fox News in finding their equivalent of Candace Owens (ethnic minority gob on stick that allows them to deflect accusations of racism but coincidentally parrots the lines of their white male news editors).
Apparently Lord Al was also all for the England players taking the knee as well last night.

He really will be persona non grata there now.
Loose Women has more authenticity. And it's Kick Racism out of Football, not out of Sport.

That tweet is spot on. Even when they use the correct people in TV shows (See several newsreaders popping up in Doctor Who over the years for "BBC" News) there's enough subtle differences (graphics, fonts, the fact that the newsreader is more stilted than usual because they're working from a dramatic script) so that anyone apart from the dumbest could believe it was real.
Otherwise, it's Orson Welles all over again.

I can see them going like LBC a few years ago. Having presenters such as Farage and Hopkins getting ever-more bigoted with the audience lapping up the bile until they step over the line and get sacked, at which point they'll be ratified for wokeism.

Do not adjust your set.
This is the approved colour for a CBeebies presenter.

Considering how many are experienced in TV, the technical amateurism and on-air woodiness is surprising.

Lucky that GB News is here to fight hard against media elites out of step with the British people.

It's all so fucking transparent, and yet the conceit keeps rolling on.

They've got this one wrong. The older audience for the culture war doesn't like people dying of Covid.

How fucking obvious can this "London" bollocks be? Like she's looked at the location of everyone saying it's shit.
Alan Jones seems to be a spectacularly nasty bit of work.

To be fair to Mr Daltrey, it appears that for the second night running, they had a guest on who refused to come out against England kneeling. It's clear they're itching to get someone to say its a disgrace. The guest booker has probably been trying to get hold of Jim Davidson all day...
Anyway, stumbled across them doing a live OB linkup earlier, and was presented with a picture quality which made me conclude it was being filmed with a VHS camcorder from 1986.
So, on one hand we have seen this week, live, crystal clear 4k UHD sharp pictures from stadia all over Europe, as far away as Azerbaijan, whereas we have the above from GBeebies, with their reporter in the far flung city of Coventry.
