In this episode of Counterpoint, veteran journalist and GB News Irish Correspondent Doug Beattie joins us for a wide-ranging and hard-hitting interview. We dive into:
- The immigration crisis in Ireland, the UK, and across Europe
- Why GB News has grown so rapidly as a challenger to BBC, ITV and mainstream media
- Free speech, censorship, and the EU's push for new hate speech laws
- How old-school journalism contrasts with today's media management
- The future of Irish and British politics in a time of unrest and change
Doug shares first-hand insights from decades on the ground, explaining what people in communities are really saying about immigration, asylum seekers, and political decisions that impact daily life.
We also explore how GB News has connected with the public and why its audience is growing so fast. This is a must-watch conversation for anyone interested in media freedom, Irish politics, and the shifting landscape of Britain after Brexit.
