GB News national reporter Charlie Peters welcomed former BBC journalist Jennifer Nadel to witness first-hand some of the broadcaster’s latest investigative reporting, offering what he described as a “front row seat” to stories other outlets are "too shy to touch".
The segment followed a heated debate between Ms Nadel and GB News host Alex Armstrong over accusations of bias and sensationalism in the coverage by The People's Channel.
Alex explained: "GB News wears its heart on its sleeve. When people tune in, they know what to expect.
"When you tune into the BBC, you are paying; you are almost forced to pay a licence fee for it to exist.

"We are at the will of our viewers. If people switch off and don’t watch GB News anymore, we won’t exist.”
He added: “The BBC will exist even if no one watches it, and that is the problem. It is not a free-market institution; it doesn’t have the strings or levers.”
The former BBC journalist hit out, stating: "No, but you have to make your money by driving clicks. And the way you drive clicks is by propagating hate, by sensationalising stories.”
Alex shot back: “How do we do that? Give me an example.”
Ms Nadel fumed: “Well, the first story you both spoke about was one migrant who wants to go home, as if that represents the whole immigration issue.
"What it does is amplify hate. It drives fear. And that’s why headlines are dominated by immigration coverage, when the real issue is the cost-of-living crisis.

Alex fumed: “Had the BBC done its job, Jennifer, and reported the stories it should have up and down the country, GB News wouldn’t exist.
"The BBC has willingly brushed away the Pakistani grooming gangs, one of the biggest issues facing our country. That is why we exist, to fill a vacuum of information that the BBC deliberately ignored.”
Charlie in the next segment then revealed that Britain officially licenses a London-based TV channel that backs the Iranian regime, a GB News exclusive.
LuaLua TV has echoed talking points from the Tehran government, including mourning the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, a close ally of Iran.

Its owner, Hussein al-Akraf, has been active on social media, publicly praising both Nasrallah and Ayatollah Khomeini, the architect of Iran’s Islamic revolution.
In 2021, under President Joe Biden, LuaLua was banned in the United States and its website seized as part of a crackdown on pro-Iranian and pro-Hezbollah outlets.
But a GB News investigation has found that it continues to operate in London and still holds an official British broadcasting licence from the regulator, Ofcom.
“This story highlights exactly the type of reporting GB News delivers,” Charlie said. “While others shy away from these investigations, we confront the facts head-on.”
