Why the UK’s "Fox News" is Awful 

When Ben Shapiro considers Andrew Neil a leftist, it just shows you how extreme the American right has gone.

I love how the right use woke. It's a noun, it's a verb, it's an adverb, it's a subject, it's probably even a preposition. It's everything!

"Why did we bring chihuahuas into existence, they're clearly not happy about it," is one of the best lines I have ever heard for some reason.

It's odd that everyone who used to complain about political correctness now use the word woke to define their own version of political correctness and as an excuse to cancel things while still complaining about cancel culture. I don't know why they get upset when people call them erratic.

I literally can't stop thinking about the argument "its actually okay that he lies so much because he has a reputation for being a huge lying liar" im losing my mind

Andrew Niel: has personally caused right-wing talking heads to meltdown simply by calmly applying reality to their views Also Andrew Neil: becomes that exact kind of right wing talking head

I know it's more complicated than this, but I basically took away, "GB news failed because they can't lie as blatantly as Fox does." Great video as always.

Every time I hear the term "body language expert" I want to shove my head through dry wall.

"They cancelled Postman Pat for being an ass man." This is where I draw the line.

Alex Jones being laughed at on air by the HOST is day brightening-ly hilarious!

I would love to get an update to this a year on. I work for the company that (unfortunately) provides subtitles for this channel and dealing with them is both hilarious and exhausting. The subtitles are automated so occassionally drop something glorious like "FARAGE OF LIES".

Internet guy from the future here: after many years and many tears, Tucker was eventually not allowed to lie. Sort of. It's complicated. Anyhow, he lost his Fox gig and became a joke. We all laughed heartily.

Andrew Neil talking about "the elite" is bloody hilarious

Fun fact: Fox News had to change their name to include “entertainment” bc if they kept lying and calling themselves a news channel they would be sued into the ground! 🙃

"Why did we bring chihuahuas into existence? They're clearly not happy about it." I died.

One example of how math can be done differently is that when I was in algebra, I could not get my head around doing the whole "subtract this number from both sides" way of figuring out answers. Instead, I liked to think of it as moving numbers around. I got the correct answers just as often, or usually even more often, as my peers and I was essentially doing the same process of problem solving, but just with a different method. Still I got counted off for "not showing my work", which made no sense to me because the whole purpose of doing that was to make sure I wasn't just cheating the answers off other people and I was doing my work in such a way that anyone copying off me could be easily spotted. And approaching math as a more open-ended process is something that is designed to help neurodivergent students, not any particular ethnic group (except those who can get diagnoses, which is an entirely different issue)

so the math thing (sorry i'm American) reminded me of a post i saw recently where a child failed their math test despite getting every answer correct because when the student showed their work, their work didn't line up with the exact way the teacher _wanted_ them to figure out the problems. _that_ is the main problem with the way math is taught (at least here in the US idk about other countries), and _that_ is what people are trying to change.

I'm not even British. I'm here just to see her pouring her beer the *proper* way.

It still amazes me that Andrew Neil, a man whose literally had a front row seat in just how well US-style culture war rhetoric goes down in the UK would then voluntarily go and join a foray into doing it on a full scale here.. What a bellend. Excellent video BTW, this is my first Münecat experience and I can't wait to see what is next!

Ah people using the word "Woke" like a magic charm to brand anything they don't like as baaaaaaaaaad

I didn't even make it a full minute into the video before I was convinced of three things. 1.) All GB News succeeded in doing was giving Monty Python's Flying Circus and the Benny Hill Show combined a run for their Collective money. 2.) Andrew Neil must've been humiliated when he bailed on the network he founded in order to beg the BBC for his old job back. 3.)Subscription to this channel is worthwhile.

Being enthusiastic about mathematical didactics and being involved in both teaching and the construction of math books for the elementary school I am completely in love with the quote at 10;44 in this video! It is bang on the money. The arguably biggest hurdle to get student to become decent or good in mathematics is to first make them understand that mathematics is absolutely not about the answer in the first place. This problem seem to be especially big in countries that do a lot of multiple choice questions with little or no demand on the student showing HOW and WHAT the student did to come to the conclusions it did, even at ages up to 18 years old! It's crazy! The SAT in the USA is arguably one of the worst possible examples of this. The way those test are constructed it is actually barely a test in mathematics at its core but mostly instead about data extraction, pure algebra and eliminating obviously incorrect alternatives. Mathematics is arguably more in the realm of a philosophical subject on the art of problem solving and logically sort your thoughts and ideas and clearly communicating the ideas and solutions to others by using logic, pure text, illustrations and mathematical symbols. Skills that are extremely important to develop and nourish for a wide variety of reasons! Anyone that says things like "In mathematics you are either right or wrong" may actually never have engaged in actual mathematics but appear to confuse mathematics with only being the related subtopics of arithmetic and algebra. But also in a way that seems like they were never required to properly communicate their solution for some reason, but instead incentivized to memorize various recipes and "hacks" without any deeper understanding of the underlying concepts. This is why almost all of these short "educational" videos on Instagram and Tiktok is an absolute cancer for mathematics as they perpetuate those misconceptions to the absurd. Even as early as pre-teen age, students should gradually be required to properly communicate what their thought process was on the way to the answer and learn how to convince the reader (or listener) that their arguments holds. Those skills are actually even helpful for pure verbal argumentations even when mathematics are not apparently involved at all. The trend of trying to make most test electronic and self-corrected is a big hurdle in this regard and has absolutely not helped. The amount of things you need to just outright remember in mathematics is actually very limited compared to other subjects and recipes and "hacks" should be avoided at all costs unless you can be very sure that the required more basic concepts motivating why they work are present. Also presented solutions that makes jumps that cannot be deciphered without assuming some "hack" must always lead to a significantly reduced score (maybe even 0 points) on that particular question, despite having the right answer as they have not communicated what they did and why it worked. But unfortunately there is a lot if inertia in Mathematics and many teachers and parents still being far too obsessed about having their students/children arriving at the "correct" answer without appreciating the importance on what path was taken to get there. Lastly it is of outmost importance to welcome alternative ways of arriving to an answer and always give full score for any path to the solution that is logically robust and reasonable to follow, regardless of how unorthodox it was, unless it was explicitly stated in the test that such kind of solution was not allowed. That often creates joy and even pride among some student if they managed figure out their own way to a solution and being rewarded for it (if it was indeed a correct path of arguments) and makes student feel like mathematics is a more free subject and not a matter of memorizing procedures someone have decided are the best. One of the worst thing you can do is to put a certain type of solution for a problem on a pedestal unless there is very good reasons to do that. The myth of "there is always a best solution" is highly detrimental and needs to be annihilated as it is often not the case and it contributes to student feeling forced to solve problems in a certain way that may not correspond to their preferred way of reasoning.

I’m so freaking glad to have fell on to this channel. Amazing work and I loved every musical element. Seriously it’s awesome. Music, comedy, and intelligent analysis, literally all in one channel. Just became a patreon supporter too

I'm in UK and never even heard of GB news... and now I know why. I have however heard of münecat... The UK's premium number one beer pourer!

It sounds like GB news was an entertaining dumpster fire! More radioactive than Chernobyl?

I’m so happy I found you. I saw your breakdown on the Behavior Panel & was instantly impressed with your sense of comedic timing. As a former stand-up I’m frankly jealous at how informative & funny you are. Your living my dream. Now I’m catching up & I’m just loving more & more. I might join Twitch just to see you more often. Keep up the awesome

Well, they're going strong now.

It's so weird how much of the right-wing's rhetoric is based on projection, grievance and victimhood. The fact that Andrew Neil did give give Ben Shapiro complete worship over his brilliance and snappy "logic" prompted Shapiro to conclude that Neil can only be a liberal and all of his questions can only be gotcha questions.

Honestly the fact that people like Murdock have so much influence on the media in general is really terrifying. Also don't give them tips about social media lol

All this does go to show the great job the people at Fox did at corralling all these horrible personalities in one place.

Gb news award winning news channel

It's honestly insane to see the daily express saying on Twitter that Britain wasn't ready for a right wing news outlet as if every outlet outside of the Independent and Guardian wasn't already right wing.

This is Hbomberguy levels of quality, absolute class

Absolutely spectacular content, here. First time visitor to this channel, and I'm super impressed. Great to see thoughts backed up with charts and factual evidence. Keep going. This is on the same level as TYT, David Pakman, Rick Strom, Brian Tyler Cohen, and many other progressive intelligent channels.

Did u call Ben Shapiro a haunted ventriloquist dummy??? Why is that so damn accurate??? Thats terrifying.

sorry does this body language analyst know that many cultures find it gross and off-putting to wear shoes in the house. maam i haven’t ever worn shoes inside and i am definitively working class are you insane

The hilarious thing about the getting angry at the suggestion there's not "one right answer" in maths is that literally any mathematician would laugh you out of the room. Throughout my whole degree (pure mathematics) there were constantly problems with no, two, five or sometimes infinite solutions. My final dissertation was around Group Theory, and part of this involves abstracting everything to the very fundamental blocks, you can't even assume that x * y = y * x without a proper proof based on the axioms you start with. The reason he chooses 2 + 2 = 4 is because arithmetic is one of the only situations you may actually have 1 single solution, and even that is debatable (see those badly written 6 + 6 ÷ 6 problems that go viral all the time but I'm not going off on those again). It's so laughable when people who stopped their maths education at 16 try and act like maths is this beacon of objectivity and "one problem one answer" mentality. If you ever go above that level you'll see that maths is fucking weird and defies it's own conventions all the time depending on the branch you are working with.

Coming back to this a year later with GB News having settled in and found an audience in the low millions, I think it's time that people reckon with GB News and get serious about the danger.

This aged badly

I’m currently pursuing a masters of mathematics and I remember in high school being reprimanded for using original (and perfectly correct) ways of solving problems. Of course my teacher just thought I was bad at maths instead of recognizing I had a unique instinct for it. Pretty sure she wouldn’t have been so quick to judge if I hadn’t been a girl and "supposed" to be bad at math 🙄

How this channel has not taken over RU-vid is beyond me. Brilliant again!

"Why the UK’s "Fox News" Didn’t Work" - this video needs updating.

That BBC intro IS an absolute banger. No other news intro compares.

Here in Canada, we briefly had Rebel News--it was the same idea and it failed for the same reasons because SOME countries actually insist that *news* programs present the news. Fucking wild, I know.

There's nothing I love more, as a woman in sport (albeit one who's a bit past it and was never very good in the first place), than when men who never cared about women's sport and never will again use it as a stick to beat trans people.

The maths thing reminded me a little of being told to show all working out for gsce exams to get maximum points. With people reporting it as doesn't matter what answer you put, just show some method and you'll get fullmarks. Basically if made a small error in one stage and ended up with the wrong answer, the markers could follow the working out and you could gets marks for the method, just not full marks.

I’ve been watching all of your videos and based on the very high quality I had assumed your channel had at least a million subscribers; I was so shocked when I checked the number! I’m glad to be here early to watch you gain the attention these videos deserve :)

Unfortunately this one might need an update

I’m late to the party here, but this woman needs her own show. I’d happily watch 24 hours of the munecat variety show.

The thing about maths is quite interesting, because I used to do well in school and get the "right" answers, but often got criticised by teachers for the way I got there - I used the "wrong" method or I skipped a step here and there. It always used to irritate me, because while I can appreciate that the reason we are taught certain methods in school is that they are effective for a wide variety of problems and reduce the risk of silly errors, these methods do not always work for all people, regardless of intelligence or background. I was top of the class, but there were some methods that just did not click for me, so I had to find my own ways of doing things. Despite some criticism and red squiggly underlines, I wasn't usually marked down for this if I got the right answer, and because I still generally did very well, I still got a lot of praise from teachers, but I can imagine kids without that praise would feel very discouraged from trying different solutions in the future, even if they demonstrably work. By saying there is ONE right answer and ONE right way to do things, and just telling kids they're wrong without any explanation of how and why, you completely cut off any intellectual curiosity and turn school into a competition of "who is more right?" rather than a place of learning. A big part of learning is making mistakes, understanding those mistakes, and applying that understanding to future problems. I get that teachers are thoroughly underpaid and overworked, and often lack the time to properly examine and understand mistakes, but if we DID have an education system in which kids were guided through their mistakes, or were allowed to explore more unusual methods without immediate criticism, then we'd likely see far fewer kids deciding that they hate school and learning, and you'd have a much more intellectually curious and well-prepared adult population. Just saying "You did it wrong" doesn't help an 8 year old better understand their maths; it tells that 8 year old that they can't do maths, and if you do it enough times, they're just gonna give up because an adult keeps telling them they're bad at maths.

As an American I imagine when he kneeled thousands of old conservative British men all going "This ie bollocks!" And then angrily turning off the tv.

Who's this national treasure? Discovered her compleet history of Sovcits and have been checking out her other vids. Delighted to find each one is packed with knowledge and comedy (and apparently singing!) Cat love from Canada🇨🇦

How ironic that just yesterday I said to my fiancé , “Im dying for a new münecat video” and then you posted today 🤩 Thank you for another great one!

My parents regularly watch GBN, so after moving off to uni and seeing this video, I feel like I almost have hope to hold a conversation by the time Christmas rolls around, amazing stuff

It's for the gullible and insecure

It seems to be doing ok nowadays ... the GBNews TV channel gets a third of the viewship of the BBC

"Gammon Boomer News". Oh, my. My eye's are watering from failing to hold in the laughter. Superb. Thanks for putting this together.

We learned about racist biases in standardized testing, etc. when we were in high school. It wasn't a whole unit or anything, but we touched on it. And this was the same high school that wouldn't let two guys walk or go to prom because they made a Brokeback Mountain parody for a class. So, hardly a "woke" or "leftist" school.

The more videos i watch, the more I admire you! You are a bright light for your generation.

Because we're not mindless

When you compared it to an old man standing in a shower making up arguments in his head, it made me think of that one scene from V for Vendetta where a news guy is literally taking a shower in a room full of TVs, watching his own program and agreeing loudly :)

I'm so glad to see a young UK youtuber have a funny, yet thought full response to the rapid Murdouchisation of our media, looking forward to the next upload.

I have unironically tried to watch GB News a few times, not because I share their views, but because I genuinely wanted to understand what was the point of it is. What I learned was very very simple…..it’s that they desperately argue that the left’s virtue signalling is harmful, pathetic and small minded……by right wing virtue signalling so hard that they nearly have an embolism. I’d admit that I don’t sit on the right, and as such those talking points are not for me; but listening to a bunch of millionaires named in the Panama Papers yelling at me that I’m the problem couldn’t be more ironic if they broke their own toes on their own personal guillotine.

You know, I watched the whole 34:28 of this video and all I've taken from it is that Welsh Paw Patrol is a thing and I need to watch it.

What riles me up about their point about mathematics is that anyone who knows anything about maths can tell you that whether you get the right answer at the end is literally the least important and interesting thing about maths. It's such a shallow take by the sort of people who understand maths only as a tool to do Bigger Additions. It's the sort of people who think that mathematical skill can be measured with multiple-choice tests. The student who can demonstrate to me that they understand the mathematical concepts and processes, and are able to form connections between them, but gets the wrong answer at the end is a better mathematician than the student who just tosses some numbers into a formula they don't understand and gets the correct answer.

Glad to see a response to this! I've been getting episodes of Benefits Britain popping up on my recommended and it's just such a disgusting example of trying to get people worked up over something that is rarely ever abused the way they show on TV

British people not knowing how right wing California is makes a perfect example as to why people who aren't from the U.S should take a backseat when commenting on U.S politics. There are nuances to this and it can change from state to state and even by counties.

They're so mad that other people are happy. It's a little sad

You're one of the content creators that I really wish would upload more often, but also appreciate the amount of work and research you put in and know that your videos are always worth the wait because of said research. Also, "haunted ventriloquists dummy" had me spitting my wine out laughing! Oh, and I spotted an article about Samuel Leeds the other day - something about conning, ehem, I mean helping, a former teacher of his. Basically, I saw it and thought of you, wondered when there would be a new video and here we are 🤗

Turns out we in Europe like our news presented by news anchors, not our racist uncle after one too many drinks. Who knew? Seriously, trying to watch American news - not just Fox, although they're definitely the worst offender - has always been a somewhat otherworldly experience. Our news programs have their biases and can be far from objective, but they're never as loud, obnoxious and in your face as tuning into any American 24/7 news program.

Watching your slow descent into madness has been highly entertaining.

CAN confirm BBC news intro is a huge bop

I struggled terribly with math as a kid, back in the 70s-80s when all learning issues were diagnosed as 'lazy'. 11:00 really speaks to me.

All this time and I never realised that bare feet had been linked with... DEATH.

gurllllll i love you and your videos! i wish i had more to binge! but i know you put so much time into the videos and it really shows, best production on youtube! you and my boy john oliver are my fav people to listen to!

“Haunted ventriloquist dummy” as an introduction is an excellent insult and fits Ben “talks fast to look smart” Shapiro perfectly

Every time you upload I'm always blown away by the thoroughness and depths you go into with these topics! You deserve a lot more recognition than you're getting

I tried watching Fox News once and shortly after I felt like barfing and I also felt as if I lost billions of braincells.

Why didn’t I discover this channel earlier? Brilliant!

Exceptional content. Informative, thought provoking, and entertaining 👍

Conservatives didn't know that Women's sports existed until they realized transgender women played in them

never heard of that prince harry guy but it seems like the poor chap cannot catch a break

The best thing about Andrew Neil taking the piss out of Alex Jones is it was a live show. The whole thing is on RU-vid, it's hilarious.

My brother exclusively gets his news from GBeebies now, I don't know how to save him

It’s still valuable for people to advocate for companies to pull advertising from places like GB News if for nothing else but to allow consumers to feel like they aren’t indirectly funding that bullshit when they have to buy a shitty nightstand at IKEA.

Does Judi James think it's weird to walk around your own house without shoes on??? I grew up in a country where it was rude to wear shoes in the house but go off lady...

Unfortunately my dad only ever gets his news from GBBies. Cant seem to get him to realise they arent a news channel

I wouldn’t want to be part of their group chat, that’s for sure.

This is a good update on Murdoch in the last 3rd of this video, here in Aus, Murdoch is likely to be subject of a Royal Commission in the near future. Unlike in the UK, Murdoch owns over NINETY PERCENT of print media (which, in Australia, dictates the media discourse in TV and social media platforms), however the largest petition ever put forward to the Australian parliament/senate has led to an inquiry into concentration of media ownership, which, if it leads to an RC, will have international repercussions

Thank goodness for people like you. Its good to know that there are others with their eyes open. Unfortunately there are a lot with their eyes shut now paying the price of not being in the EU.

That's crazy that Ben Shapiro considers old school British conservatives to be leftists

and she sings! what a delight

I was literally discussing last night how I always thought I was just bad at math but recently realized a lot of my hobbies include math and that I wasn’t actually bad at it I just had a really hard time memorizing formulas because I have ADHD. So I would consistently get answers on tests and homework correct but get half credit because when looking at the show your work part I wouldn’t do it the conventional way I was taught to get the answer. Which made me hate math for a long time since I could consistently repeat the process on multiple problems but it wasn’t the correct formula so it was... wrong? somehow. Anyway I guess I just wish I was taught math differently.

That whole "maths is racist now?!?" thing is old news too. Maggie Thatcher talked about the same thing at a conservative party conference, but this was about some thoughttank or something suggesting that names used in maths problems should be from a broader range of cultural origins.

I've seen a few of your videos now. I enjoy them a lot. I believe this one has my favorite ending songs so far. Keep up the good work!

This woman is about to BLOW up. Best left is best themed videos in a LONG time. Thank for the hard work!

“Six-Nine is what you get when you order JoJo Siwa from the dark web” 🤣🤣🤣 You’re an absolute genius 😂
