Don't get me wrong Jo, they both like to think otherwise and I do enjoy some of their content but GB News and Talk TV are very much part of the mainstream media world that's for sure, but simply the right wing mainstream, which is fine and necessary and was long overdue, but definitely mainstream all the same. Nobody should kid themselves about that. If anything GB News has become far more mainstream in the past year or so than it was at start up and for the first year or two. Mark Steyn was an interesting discovery, I'd never heard of him but he was obviously getting a bit too hot for them and lost the 8pm show, I think GB News wanted him to personally pay any ofcom fines rather than the company.
Mike Graham, someone I've listened to for years going back to when he did overnight on radio, including his very sweary podcast, The Thought Police. But I'm sure even with him there was something being said a couple of years ago during the pandemic period how certain people with certain views associated with the vaccine were quietly not asked on and that people with views on deeply contentious subjects along those lines were not given airtime or he Mike Graham was possibly being advised not to talk about some things too much. A little unsure on the finer details of this I will admit. I mean, Talk TV is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News UK, what could be more mainstream than that!

Is Rich, spewing 'right-wing claptrap'?
Mark Steyn went off script and teleprompter. He was his own boss and some people can't be bought, no matter how much money you throw at them. Steyn was spot on about Covid jabs injuries and the effects lockdown had on people and still do.
