- Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has described Channel 4 News as “edgy” and said the programme sometimes has not done itself “any favours” in terms of impartiality.
Appearing before a Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee session about online safety and public service broadcasters, she was asked what she thought of the programme.

Never have I seen a cabinet minister so poorly informed about the things she has influence over. There’s nothing but bad attitude and entitlement in that head.
As well as shit for brains.
You clearly haven’t seen Simon Clark at his best/worst.
👍🏾
It's bloody frightening that this person has been given any power whatsoever over us, and to make critical decisions over our nation's assets...aware of the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Tory is a illnes, a sickness of the mind to can only think money
Her particular combination of arrogance, ignorance and incompetence are astounding.
Nadine is not making this decision fools.
@@Johnnyfive55 Ever heard of a comma, fool?
The Tories and Dorries are frightened of scrutiny and being challenged. They want one of their ring wing friends to take over and then set a ring wing agenda, so that channel four can be controlled.
An extremely Right wing agenda. Akin to the early days of those whose name we must not speak... 🧐
There's an easy way to stop this.... George Soros, where are you?
The left are also frightened of scrutiny and being challenged. They also want their left wing friends to take over and set a left wing agenda so the channel can be controlled. Until you learn that BOTH the left and right are mirror images and both equally intolerant narrow minded and dogmatic you are part of the problem as to why it goes on. AND-ironically, BOITH the Tory right AND Labour left are made up of posh sheltered middle class prigs having a schoolroom squabble with each other which is another reason we are where we are and real issues of concern to people outside of this sheltered middle class zone.
And there you go. Channel 4 criticised the government, so the government wants to punish them. It is textbook fascism.
It’s straight out of Putin’s book too. She’s deplorable. Depressingly vindicative, pompous and well… stupid. Spouting nonsense she really has no idea/ experience of. These ministers are a joke.
👍🏾
She is clearly uncomfortable. Reason...she hasn't got a clue! Does she think GB TV is bias!? She has fascist tendancies. Time to be booted out in favour of someone with grey matter...at least 2 cells.
"Booted Out" That Sounds a Bit Fascist!
Yes they would still be from the Conservative party and it’s difficult to find brains there. Entitlement yes brains no.
Channel four are the fascist and the BBC and the Labour party
@@michaeldonovan231 Can you back that statement up with some examples of fascist behavior from them?
@@jasminebali8068 Maybe "Bottled out" instead of "booted out" would fit her better....
The more this person is aired, the more disdain I have for her as a person and politician. Just comes across as arrogant and vindictive.
yes so left wing crying again grow up you bot watch all your left wing guys come and help you
And useless
...incredibly stupid and often drunk. Let us not forget those fine attributes.
Dorries nurse from Liverpool trying to sound all posh Like Thatcher
terrible person and politician.
You're selling now because Channel 4 is the only mainstream broadcast medium that's prepared to scrutinise the deplorable actions of the government. That's all.
Spot on!
@UCQJvGcIWSU13HqtqCwRkUaw BS. The only reason the Conservatives are hot on the sale is for precisely the reason I gave. No other broadcast MSM dare squeak about the incompetence, cupidity, corruption, mendacity, barbarity, and treachery of the government. Not for nothing are the cowards in government fearful of being interviwed on the channel. Their deception is exposed in a way that the BBC dare not attempt. If you believe in the theme of your post, perhaps you can explain your otherwise empty assertion that Channel 4 is partial rather than impartial?
Busted! She got there eventually with the real reason for selling off channel 4, "News anchor shouting obscenities at the Tory party" They don't like criticism!
She's like a rotting carcass you know she's rotten to the Core but when you crack her open it's confirmed.
NEWS FLASH! The LEFT also do not like being challenged or being criticised, Only the terminally stupid think there is any difference between the left and right-particularly as BOTH are made up out of the posh pampered sheltered middle class-the Tory sheltered middle class and the Labour sheltered middle class all having an infantile schoolroom squabble with each other, Which is why politics is in the state its in.
@@infrasleep New Labor isn't left wing. Under Corbyn Labour was a socialist party but not any more under Starmer.
norries is basically a fascist (like Patel) she believes that the state , along with big business and capital, must take control of or remove any organisation that criticises or opposes them. This is so overt and so disturbing
@TheNewblackdog oh dear, you believe in a government's right to close down media outlets critical of them - I assume you're a big fan of Putin?
@TheNewblackdog I don't understand what 'woke' means , when I was young, racist views and language were 'normal', homophobic views and language too - now , N****, W**, C***, P***, Q**** etc etc are not tolerated and people like you, hiding behind fake names, are angry about it - which of those words do you most miss?
Nadine. How the flying F.. did you land this job ?
Boris is giving her one.
Probably gave BoJo a BloJo
She's a f*ckwit who wouldn't otherwise get on unless she was prepared to render absolute fealty to "Flaccid" Johnson and the truly detestable Far-Right wing of the Conservatives (now the mainstream of the party).
@@tbonez7331 It must be something like that because it's certainly not on merit.
The Old Sucking Up To The Boss Trick!
Doris just can’t stand scrutiny and accountability…… a truly horrible jumped up school dinner monitor……..
I think that is inscribed on Tory Party HQ?
@TheNewblackdog Utter nonsense. Get that chip off your shoulder.
@TheNewblackdog Oh dear. That chip is getting deeper on each comment. 🤣🤣🤣
C4 tells the truth! This is one of the reasons why they are being sold off.
The only reason!
Yep, a fascist move to get rid of media outlets that they don't like. Also selling off ch4 a public owned property making profits. Classic move by any government that's been in power the last 20 years.
Yes censoring the news is one of the first steps towards a dictatorship.
I guess one of their donors has an eye on C4
It becomes clearer as her pretext fades….she is not clear on anything but what drove her attention…..politics, and her and her party’s thin-skin.
She has no substance….she is really trying to use shallow Hal mashup of words….and offended when ppl don’t believe her.
There's a lot of overt emotion in her responses. The adolescent demeanour, constant head and shoulder shifting and subdued tone is Jeremy Kyle show level.
@@liborsionko she is bullshitting like when someone you know does it….we usually say i dont got time for this shit because it doesnt affect me and not give them the time of day….but now the bullshitters lied their way in and are affecting us.
She is absolutely full of it and completely out of touch.
Make a Perfect PM Then!
She's not poorly informed, rather she is a person of very limited intelligence who, were she employed as a cloakroom attendant, would be over-promoted.
The Tory's are like one of those dodgy companies that try to sell everything before they go bust, and pocket the cash.
Channel 4 news is good. It's balanced and factually as accurate as it can be unlike the BBC.
Nadine also knows that Cathy Newman will run rings around her during an interview. Only appear when you have to Nadine, that's true transparency.
Of course she does. The only reason she wants to destroy Channel 4 is because she cannot tolerate anyone holding different views from her own particularly obnoxious ones. She is also so stupid that she would indeed be ripped to shreds by Cathy, or Matt Frei.
I see people like Dorries in public life and find myself driven to absolute despair. She has absolutely no idea why her boss has told her to sell C4, she has been told it criticised the government and Tory party and that is all she needs to know, she doesn't even understand the current model it works to. Boris said Channel 4 must go, 93% said they don't want it to go but Boris said it must go so, little miss clueless will get rid of it. Her last job before being sent to the back benches? The sooner people wake up to the fact that this is the level of intelligence they are sending to represent them in government the better.
She's unaccountable. She can't articulate why she's doing what she's doing. She hasn't got time to go into detail about the finances when C4 is making record profits but apparently that means it's the right time to sell?!! WTF! They're treating her like an imbecile, because that's precisely what she is.
She's behaving like a silly little schoolgirl. How on earth is she a Cabinet Secretary?
love the comment about her answer being a truism- she didn’t flinch, obviously doesn’t know the meaning of the word- he’d have even better putting it in language she understands : ‘you’re talking shit, love’
What an appalling person
She has a personal axe to grind with Channel 4, that is all this is about, vengeance. All her fatuous justifications are nonsense.
Absolutely 💯 👏👏👏
I disagree, she was told to sell c4. It only looks vindictive. That's much more acceptable to the c4 haters than the real reason which is the quieten decent to bigger fish than that thicko
Nadine got one thing right, you must do the conservative Party favours to stay on top. In fact Favours is what this party lives on. I wonder what favours Nadine had to do to hold the position she holds.
She just needs to be incompetent and loyal like everyone around Boris.
UNFIT FOR OFFICE,UNFIT TO RUN A TAP, GOD HELP US.
A culture Secretary with no understanding of culture whatsoever.
Channel Four should be left alone. It's doing fine as it is and its coverage of the London 2012 Paralympic Games was extraordinary.
Simon Stiel
A dictatorship needs to remove, all and any opposition to it's agenda.
@@silversurfer7341 The result of the 2019 General Election is the problem. A small group of voters switching their votes to the Conservatives resulted in their 80 seat majority. The biggest overall majority for them since the 1987 election.
Clearly they want to make the most of their success. Scrutiny is needed to keep them in check.
@@MrSstiel
Let's hope these voters, don't keep giving the Tories, just one more chance.
Whenever she flicks her hair, this seems to be an indicator that she is lying.
Her weak voice demonstrates her uncomfortable, and lack of confidence in her remit; Dorries lacks intellectual rigour and she completely dishonest. The Tories don't won't to be held to account, C4 " not doing themselves any favours" in response to C. Newman's opposition to the Tories show's an ideological bias and a nasty vindictive government trying to silence criticism.
She has to be up there with one of the more useless ministers. An utter embarrassment.
That woman said that channel 4 is government owned. It's PUBLIC owned! A big difference!
Do her children laugh at her or just avoid their eyes when she comes home?
I think you mean avert mate. It's a tough gig avoiding your own eyes.
Unless They Are In The Back Of Your Head!
@@NotoriousWhistler Correct and a fair point. Yes, avert their eyes or avoid her eyes. I stand corrected. Bless you.
Well they are both on her payroll so I should imagine they are laughing all the way to the bank!
That this creature was allowed to breed is everything wrong with humanity in a nutshell
This woman is unbelievably unintelligent. How she got to where she is I cannot fathom.
What.... doesn't it tow the conservative party line and pump out the usual lies.
Shocking…….This completely incompetent person had been appointed into this position!
Thats Enough About Joe Biden!
And that says it all. If there isn't freedom of speech then what.
The Tory bike isn't doing herself any favours either.
"That's my right to do so." Arrogant bloody *****.
Well... Here it is in a nutshell. The Tory government only recognise "favours".
“Can I ask why you refused to go on Channel 4 News to answer questions why you decided to privatise Channel 4?”
ND: “That’s my right to do so.”
My answer to that would be:
“It’s this Enquiry’s RIGHT, Ms Dorries, to expect informative, honest and direct responses to our questions. We are here dealing with extremely important issues regarding the public’s RIGHT to a news service which isn’t controlled by party-political interests. I would request, Ms Dorries, that you assist this Enquiry by giving answers which show you are in good faith and respectful of this Enquiry, and further that you are respectful of the public’s RIGHT to expect YOU to act in the public interest. I would request that you do NOT give answers which may come across as evasive, stone-walling or arrogant, or you will be held in contempt.”
Yoda; "The mince is thick with this one."
There are terrible politicians and then there are terribly embarrassing politicians like ND
Minister for culture ffs , there's more culture in a petri dish!
By which she means, doesn't do the Tories any favours. "They ask hard questions".
It's a good time to go to market as we have just spent vast amounts of money moving C4 to Leeds, rebuilding the Majestic building, and relocation packages...
Translation. We spruced things up ready to sell.
🙄
Amazing she knows nothing about culture yet she's the culture secretary?
She is the female version of Bojo, of every 5 words spoken 3 are a lie and the other 2 untrue 🥱
Always very defensive-mark of someone lacking in self confidence,hoping not to get found out.
Spot on
Great points made here; journalism is an integral pillar of our democracy.
It never really has been a cornerstone of democracy, it's always been swayed by money and favour to power.
Listen to The Jam 'news of the world' recorded in 1978
There is no fourth estate just read up on Assange and Snowden it's all another way to control the masses. Propaganda is everywhere be careful with what you buy into.
Then There Is The Sun!
She makes Diane Abbot look like she belongs to mensa!
Subtle racism is still racism.
Hahaha
@@Marvhead coulda said Liz Truss instead lol
The problem is, Diane Abbott is not the sharpest tool, she's been over promoted due to her loyalty over the years, but she is a very good constituency MP, and above all her intentions are good. Mad Nad is none of those things, her intentions are horrible and she's also an extremely thick person, who makes Diane Abbott look like a candidate for mensa
The lady next to her looks worried when ND speaks. The interview shows there is every reason to be.
She makes my ears bleed 🙄
She just always seems like she’s had a heavy session the night before.
Heavy Session Of What?
She's a notorious drunkard, not good when she's starting with very few brain cells
Question to Ms Dorris: Why do you want to sell Channel 4? Answer: Because I can! My answer: because we want all TV to only give news that whitewashes Tory activity
Drunk again??!
This is what happens when a dressage horse learns to talk.
Translated: We're going to sell Channel 4 whether you like it or not!
Because Channel 4 is proper naughty and said disparaging things about the conservative party.
So we are going to sell it to a Tory donor whom promises to ask us open-ended questions without challenge..
Another Boris lead story teller , in other words “ a total lair”.
This reminds me of the Tory govt of the 80’s and the controversy with the Monocled Mutineer BBC adaptation 😳
Every time she opens her mouth Nadine Dorries doesnt do herself any favours
Don't stress folks we've got this lot for another 3 years. They've done a Stirling job so far. What a upstanding bunch
She hasn't a clue.
Dorries is despicable. Her answers were appalling, her arrogance off the scale and her accountability zero. Awful so called public servant.
It seems to me that she can’t Stand a journalist having a opinion against her party but I thought we live in a democracy which means people have opinions against her party and others as well or would she rather live in 1984 by George orwell
Oh it hasn’t been a democracy since the conservatives took over. Seems to me we are living daily in 1984.
Ric Mac's comment says it all perfectly.
Like deployed 👍
What a horrible person Dorries is. She shouldn’t be entitled to the air we breath
Coz channel 4 is the only news broadcaster who tell it has it is. They are the only channel that keeps the government in check
Priceless. This item was followed by an advert for the failing Netflix.
dorries is as big a liar as her boss.
All the gear with no idea 😳
If only she paid as much attention to thought as she does to appearance. Anyway, the PM likes her so she's there as long as he is.
Nadine Dorries was made Culture secretary sarcastically, I’m sure.
I'm sure that when the term 'culture' was used in the job description it actually referred to yoghourt and sour cream...
funny she should say that.
some might say the same of her.
she doesnt do herself any favours.
The ATTITUDE on her! How the heck are people like THAT in power?
How the fuck did she get where she is!? 🤷🏼♂️
BJ for BJ
Leave C4 alone.
Absolutely shocking
Oh dear oh dear it’s so sad about Channel 4 not
Which anchor is she referring to when she said they went out screaming obscenities about the Tories?? Anybody know??
SNOW IDEA!
@@jasminebali8068 Thanks, who NEWMAN
To think people voted for her, never again I hope for the good of us all.
Wow, I wouldn't give her a mop job
When your the MP for media you don't get to pick which interviews you take
Is Nadine looking at the role of Dolores umbridge in the next Harry potter film?
Labour, LD and greens need to coordinate an electoral pact to get rid of the entire Tory front bench and as many Tory MPs as possible, maybe not concentrating their efforts on what are left of the old one nation pro EU tories
Not a democractic person, obviously
Because it reports more accurately and more even handed. How bad is that
This is hard to believe.
Basically try and direct the public down the road we want them to think !
What a STRANGE WOMAN!!! PERFECT FOR BORIS.
Why does a cabinet member a state "which media outlet I chose to appear on is my choice..." as if she were a celebrity or movie star rather than a representative of Her Majesty's Government who has a duty to account for her official actions though one of our major TV outlets. I see talk of the press as the Fourth Estate has fallen off. As for privatization of Channel 4 a public service broadcaster a cabinet minister who clearly expresses an highly individual and biased view regarding its news content is not providing the disinterested and dispassionate attitude appropriate to and expected of a Culture Secretary. The vulgarity of this is astonishing - though, I am afraid, in Ms Dorries's case is hardly surprising.
She really is a cupid stunt.
Now we see what it's about the Tories don't like an independent news or programing.
Targeted for speaking truth. The channel 4 mantra since birth.
this woman is dangerous
Can anyone please point to to a way which would permit me to express my complete and utter distain for this jumped-up, intellectually-challenged individual which breaks neither the liable laws and which would not 'outrage public decency'?
no, but if you find one, let us all know.
Brilliant work, Nadine! Let’s get shut!
An arrogance that belies her degree of thickness. Wouldn't pay her in washers.
What she really means is that Ch 4 doesn't do what she wants it to do, but sticks to what its viewers want it to do.
If ever there was someone unfit for their job it's her. (And BoJo) (and Cheesy Truss)
See how she shakes her head and then goes for the water, shaky or what.
