BREAKING: No improvised explosive devices found in the three vans seized near RAF Fairford
Among news broadcasters close to GB News in size, this was a soft spell. 7NEWS Australia and CBC News: The National were both drawing fewer daily views than usual, and AccuWeather was far below its normal level. GB News' newest report from Gloucestershire moved the other way.
"BREAKING: No improvised explosive devices found in the three vans seized near RAF Fairford" passed 44,000 views in its first ten hours. That puts it on course for roughly ten times what a new GB News upload gathers on its first day. Comments outnumber likes by more than two to one.
The title carries the news itself. Three vans had been seized near the base, which is used by the United States Air Force, and no improvised explosive devices were found inside them. A day earlier, Patrick Christys' questions about Fairford were the video lifting the channel. This time it is a plain update on the investigation.
