“US media group Discovery Inc is the other co-lead investor. Its significant shareholder is John Malone, the libertarian and erstwhile Murdoch cable rival”

“The channel’s third major investor is British businessman and philanthropist Sir Paul Marshall”
According to Byline Times, Marshall is the man who convinced Michael Gove to throw his political weight behind Brexit... /4
Meanwhile, he made clear that he is as avariciously “British” as the rest of his investors by…“setting up a fund in Dublin..."

Not a great start, is it?
How about the claim that GB News will be “proudly independent” and focus on “debate that embraces all voices and opinions across Britain”?

GB News Chairman and lead presenter Andrew Neil made his name as Rupert Murdoch’s lackey at the Sunday Times
As editor of The Sunday Times Neil boasted that “Thatcher’s battles were our battles”

And:
“Notoriously, refused to accept the consensus view of Aids, promoting the idea that this was a disease of gay men and drug addicts..."

We suppose it’s possible that a TV show funded by mega-rich free market devotees and staffed by ex-Murdoch, News Corp, Daily Mail right-wingers will be “impartial” and embrace “all voices and opinions”
Actually, no we don’t

“I get out of London as much as possible when Parliament is not sitting" Neil boasted in an Independent column on his French chateau.
"I either come here or go to New York”

They will be “fearless in tackling the issues people care about, especially in communities outside of London”

Parents in cities, please pay attention to the reopening details from the Whitehouse.
Biden says "small classes". What we need to understand is how they plant to accomplish this.
Through "childcare programs in schools". We see this all over states w/ closed schools.
We need to grasp that the AFT, NEA, & local unions are systematically working to decouple education from childcare.
Their vision is your child sitting on a device all day, watched by a childcare worker, being "taught" from a Teacher working from
This isn't a paranoid conspiracy theory - it is already happening in the majority of districts across the US where schools are closed.
