Laurence Fox cancelled a GB News guest and everyone’s irony meter exploded

We’re grateful to @Otto_English for flagging up this Laurence Fox interview on GB News from a few days back.

We knew Fox was a regular on the channel but we didn’t know he was presenting his own show, and quite the watch it is too.

Here he is interviewing journalist and author Alan Friedman about Trump and the state of America right now and Fox’s technique is everything you’d expect and less.

Textbook stuff, Lozza!

And just a few of the things people said about it.

Bloody hell. I’ve never seen someone be shut down so fast…and from the fella who likes free speech 🤨

Wow, a freeze peach absolutist shutting down someone because he doesn’t like what was said… Its as if he’s nothing but a massively hypocritical no-talent grifter.

You didn’t say what I wanted you to say so I’m cutting the interview.

From the “let’s have both sides of the argument” crew!

Hadn't seen this from "free speech channel" GB News. Guest points out that Trump is endorsing Q Anon conspiracy theories…. Fox immediately shuts him down and ends interview https://t.co/lDt8AIxqPe

The “wo wo wo I played Hunter Biden… what do you mean conspiracy theories” bit says it all.

The “we support free speech and alternative voices so long as they unconditionally agree with us” ethos is thriving there.

To conclude …

No one more easily triggered and happy to shut up opponents than a free speech advocate on GB News. https://t.co/ftCmTxnvdA

Never let it be said that GB News isn’t all about free speech, right Alastair Stewart?

Welcome, @JohnCleese to @GBNEWS
As he says, “@gbnews is not a right wing channel, it’s a free speech channel”.
