A British news channel founded to counter "cancel culture" and the "echo chamber" of "metropolitan" news has lost big-brand advertisers in the days after its launch.But the grassroots lobby group Stop Funding Hate has likened the channel to a "British Fox News", and has been pressuring every company whose advertisements appeared on the channel.
Already Ikea, Octopus Energy, cider brand Kopparberg, The Open University and Ovo Energy have all suspended commercials on the channel."We're not currently running ads on GB News," Octopus Energy chairman Greg Jackson said.Andrew Neil is the face of the new British channel GB News."We want to make it clear to everyone that our ad ran on this channel without our knowledge or consent," the company said in a tweet.
"Kopparberg is a drink for everyone and we have immediately suspended our ads from this channel pending further review of its content."

Because it’s just a different echo chamber with its own cancel culture. A truely genuine effort to create a balanced analytical media outlet is a very interesting idea though.
What a surprise 🙄
