Watch this academic absolutely shred the GB News ethos in an interview with Laurence Fox

Oonagh Keating. Updated April 28th, 2023

We don’t often feel the urge to share footage from GB “News”, but we’ve recently had the pleasure of watching Marina Purkiss absolutely bodying Jacob Rees-Mogg on the channel – and that was a must-see moment.

When Laurence Fox made the mistake of interviewing Communicable Disease Control and Infectious Disease Management expert, Dr Bharat Pankhania, the good doctor’s response was also far too good to miss, so here’s a rare second GBN clip in a week.

Stop what you are doing and watch this 30 second video of an academic confronting the risible @lozzafox with a dose of truth.

“I sometimes wonder why you exist, to be honest with you, because a lot of these things that you spew out just send things that are worrisome to people, are not verified, not factual. You just have your own agenda and that’s what I think.

You are just spewing out your biased views.”

Imagine if he’d got off the fence.

Tweeters gave him a virtual round of applause.

Now there's a man who kept his powder dry until the opportune moment. Nice one.

Sooz Kempner shared the unfortunate truth.

Not one GBeebies viewer will have had their mind changed by the doctor. All the viewers will be lol'ing that Fox bodied him.
