AN interview between two Tory MPs on GB News did not break broadcasting rules, according to Ofcom.
The UK’s media regulator was asked to investigate whether an interview with Suella Braverman conducted by Lee Anderson on his GB News show was in breach of impartiality rules.
A spokesperson said: “Having assessed the nature and format of the programme – which included the combination of a pre-recorded interview, in-depth studio analysis and panel discussion – we were satisfied it was a current affairs programme. Ofcom found that the discussion failed to preserve due impartiality, largely because the host and interviewee’s opinions were so similar.The regulator said: “In accordance with the right to freedom of expression, broadcasters have editorial freedom and can offer audiences innovative forms of discussion and debate.
GB News accepted fault and said that relevant staff will “receive further training focused on the issues raised by this broadcast”.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
