https://watchnewz.com/global-news/ofcom-investigates-rishi-sunaks-gb-news-appearance-over-impartiality-concerns/Following more than 500 complaints, Ofcom, the UK’s media regulator, is looking into Rishi Sunak’s participation on a GB News show. The prime minister answered questions from a studio audience on a range of subjects, including the NHS and his asylum proposal for Rwanda, at the People’s Forum, which broadcast on February 12. The only other guest on the show was Sunak.
James Daly, the Bury North Conservative MP, was interviewed by the channel regarding the Prime Minister’s performance after the Q&A session.
Ofcom acknowledged that it had received almost 500 complaints and opened an inquiry to find out if the show had violated impartiality laws by excluding other political viewpoints. Rules 5.11 and 5.12 of the Broadcasting Code, which mandate that programs addressing significant political issues or public policy matters include a broad range of important viewpoints, were cited by Ofcom in a statement.
In response to questions on Ofcom’s conduct, Downing Street said that Sunak had no regrets about taking part in the initiative. A representative for the organization underlined the significance of media appearances in the democratic process and recognized Ofcom’s function as an impartial regulator.
GB News has already been the target of complaints to Ofcom. John Nicolson, a member of the culture, media, and sport committee for the Scottish National Party, praised Ofcom’s probe but had doubts about GB News’ adherence to regulations.
