GB News and the Rules of Fair Play
Description
Michael Grade, ex-head of Ofcom, defends GB News as a legitimate voice reflecting mainstream public concerns on immigration and Brexit, arguing it operates under the same rules as the BBC and Sky. He insists editorial choices are inherent to all news outlets and that GB News’ content has improved without violating regulations. But critics, including former Ofcom staff, challenge his interpretation of impartiality, questioning why Ofcom didn’t act more decisively during his tenure. GB News calls itself Britain’s top news channel, pledging to serve the nation—not the media elite—while concerns grow among senior figures over its right-wing bias. Ofcom has now launched an investigation into a re-aired GB News segment, with experts urging the new chairman to enforce parliamentary standards rigorously.
