Title: Dan Wootton
Post by: Alex on September 29, 2023, 01:30:21 PM
Dan Wootton has been sacked by the Daily Mail and is likely to be sacked by GB News.   This is an attack on GB News, not just one of its popular presenters.  What next - perhaps the Vicar Presenter  ?  :smiley:

I haven't recorded anything on GB news since the announcement. I tend to watch TalkTV exclusively now. Warner Bros will surely kill it off soon following their takeover of The Discovery Channel, who were primarily influential in it's start up.

The Woke blob has successfully ensured a profitable revenue from advertising is impossible due to the influence and control they have over the Gen Z's who run corporations now as well.

Sad, but it hasn't helped with it's sloppy and amateurish presentation and enigmatic 'rotation' of presenters.

Also when 'The Digger' (Rupert Murdoch) passes 'TalkTV' will go the same way.

Never mind there's always the BBC.

Seriously, how many of you would want to shag Rupert Murdock.?  I mean, look at the saggy faced old trout 😬

The Vicar presenter has been given the boot, no signs of Dan Wootton who has retreated to home town in New Zealand - still under investigation I believe.

A right Woke, blob, virtual signalling set-up, no doubt a Globalist inspired conspiracy in it's origination. I enjoyed Dan Wootton, what on earth could he have done poor chap. I hope he sues, if I wasn't too old I'd rush to defend him 'pro bono'!

I haven't watched GBN since, come to think of it and quite a few of my friends both here and in the UK have acted similarly apparently. I must say my actions have not been as a riposte to the GBN sackings, subconsciously I have just become very uninspired by all of it.

Meanwhile, funny how the National Broadcaster refuses to condemn Hezbollah, but of course that's OK as the champion of unbiased opinion upon the waves sails serenly on unimpeded!

I have to say that I know nothing about Dan Wootton.

However, I regularly watch GB News, as I believe it is as unbiased a news programme as any, and certainly so compared to the BBC who, apparently, have been supporting Hamas in their news programmes, among other things.

I find no surprise in reading that so many people are now refusing to subsidise the BBC by paying for a TV licence.  Compulsorily requiring people to pay this one single organisation for the right to watch ALL live television is surely unfair, especially as it seems to be biased against what most British people believe.

BBC comment was to say that calling Hamas terrorissts would be seen to be taking sides! :wtf:  :wtf:  :wtf:

Mandella was a terrorist until he wasn't.

Hamas may be terrorists, but Israel has does a fair impression over the years, not that I expect anyone to do any tedious fact checking as it's easier to suck up the propaganda.

I suppose that is as logical as saying that people who kill without reason are murderers!  🙄

Apparently Dan is back home in his 'other' country New Zealand at present. Hopefully he'll be back soon, but I fear 'Woke Warner Bros' (GB news) will use it to exit him as they pull the garotte ever tighter.

He has apologised for appearing to agree with Laurence Fox's rant about Ava Evans.

He's under investigation for 'money for sex photos' with a young man now, but there's not a lot of information about it on line.

Dan Wootton has been cleared and is no longer under investigation.    He insisted it was a smear campaign but strange how it's taken so many months to find there was no evidence of wrongdoing.  :cool:

The Guardian has apologised and agreed to make a payment to suspended GB News presenter Dan Wootton after reporting that he was under police investigation.

It is one of a number of publications and individuals facing the threat of legal action from Wootton for invasion of privacy, and the first to opt for a settlement.

Carol Vorderman next in line I hope !
