GB NEWS PRESENTER CONFUSES COMPUTER VIRUSES WITH COVID IN LATEST VIRAL GAFFE

A GB presenter confused computer viruses with biological viruses during an
interview with a tech expert - and the internet, like her cohost, is cracking
up.

After a guest on the brand new news channel described the sort of havoc he
imagined digital warfare could cause in space, presenter Mercy Muroki asked a
“quick question” about the possibility of using this vulnerability to juice-up a
Coronavirus-like illness.

“How worried should we be that China is now doing this? As a lot of people don't
trust China right now."



The guest corrects her swiftly, saying “No, no, no, I don’t mean that type of
virus.” But her cohost Colin Brazier failed to contain himself, falling into
not-so-discreet giggles.

GB News was launched by Andrew Neil on Sunday, as an “anti-woke” news channel,
and it’s already been a wild ride.



The channel was overtaken by prank callers on Monday, calling themselves names
like “Mike Hunt.” The scuffle lead presenters to beg viewers to “grow up” and
stop making fun of them.

They also invited socialite and reality star Lady Colin Campbell onto a program
to kick things off, where she made sympathetic comments about the deceased
pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and defended his friendship with Prince Andrew.



A Twitter account has also already been set up to capture the best gaffes from
the show’s A-team of presenters and guests, leading to widespread ridicule of
moments like the virus mixup.



But things are also getting a little dire on the business side, with several
major brands, including IKEA and Nivea, pulling ads just days into the channel’s
existence.

The Swedish furniture company said it hadn’t “knowingly” contributed ads to the
channel in the first place.

“We are in the process of investigating how this may have occurred to ensure it
won’t happen again in future,” a statement about the situation read, and have
suspended paid display advertising in the meantime.”
