Andrew Neil suggests he quit GB News because it was ‘not my kind of journalism’

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Andrew Neil suggests he quit GB News because it was ‘not my kind of journalism'” – below is their description.

Andrew Neil has said he quit GB News because he was concerned about the direction the channel was taking and said he was in a “minority of one” among senior managers and the board.

Mr Neil told the BBC’s Question Time that he did not want to work for a “British Fox”, referring to the Right-wing US news channel, saying it is “not my kind of journalism” and claiming the channel “deals in untruths, it deals in conspiracy theories, and it deals in fake news”.

But when asked by host Fiona Bruce if he left GB News because it was too Right-wing, Mr Neil refused to answer and instead said people should “make up their own minds”.
