'Ofcom has shown its own BIAS - old media is frightened!' Opik's blistering take on GB News ruling
Earlier this week, Ofcom decided to pursue its latest avenue to try and silence the People's Channel.The media regulator deemed GB News' February 12 debate show with Rishi Sunak, titled People's Forum: The Prime Minister, had broken its broadcasting rules.

For all I know, Rushi Sunak may be an all round, nice man. What I do realise is that he is a poor politician, leader and motivator of others. He should never have been made Prime Minister. What is worse is that it exposes the terrible state that the Conservative Party is in and exposes us to a Labour Government - which is disastrous for the country. This didn't happen overnight and there was plenty of warning signs. As a country we no longer have people fit for Government of any political persuasion - and that makes for an uncertain future. The good news for supporters of Boris Johnson is that if he were leading the Tory party into the election, he would cut Labour's majority by 114 seats. The bad news is that this would still leave Sir Keir Starmer with a thumping majority of 226 seats. A Deltapoll survey for The Mail on Sunday shows the electoral Everest Rishi Sunak has to climb. If the poll was held tomorrow, Labour would lead by 45 per cent to 23 per cent, a lead of 22, which - when combined with Reform UK's 10 per cent - would mean a Labour majority of 340, according to calculations by the pollsters. Sunak would be one of just 77 Tory MPs left. Under Boris, the gap would narrow to 16 points, with Nigel Farage's Reform withering to 6 per cent......

Not so you referred to hundreds of complaints and related my comments as a conspiracy theory. Ofcom react to levels of complaints in the main and record those where over 50 have been received. So SFH think the more the merrier. What Ofcom 'find' as regards GB news is of course often at odds with what others do consistently. Some were up in arms about Rees-Mogg reporting breaking news but then became very silent when David Lammy did the same more openly and more brazenly. It is a biased game and you are whistling their tune. Nope. The hundreds of complaints were from the audience of a specific show. You have no evidence that its a conspiracy. I gave you evidence there is a campaign, I gave you evidence that concerted action is encouraged within that campaign and in fact proformas exist to that end. I hope you never sit on a jury.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13460229/Boris-Tories-election-Labours-majority.htmlThe Mail is politically stupid designed for politically stupid people. It can't even remember the crap economy and the dire straights of the NHS and state education the Tories left behind the last time they left office. A politically moronic Paper feeding political garbage for political morons to eagerly swallow.

Indeed yes, 547 complaints. And you can just imagine who complained. However, many people including former Labour minister Bill Rammel have said they are very concerned by Ofcoms actions and support GB News legal action against Ofcom. Ofcom look at the complaint not just the number of people complaining. They are looking at David Lammy to see if he did indeed report breaking news. What did he say 'we have some breaking news'. Ofcom are still 'investigating' and its what three weeks and counting. They do not list it if it is less than 50. Lammy seems only to have been complained about because Rees-Mogg was found guilty by Ofcom. People are observing double standards.

You didn't give any evidence that this affected the Ofcom decision. That was not my assertion, I referred to an agenda for which you said there was no evidence, I gave you evidence which you said was not evidence. Now you are saying it is not evidence of that which you did not ask and that which I did not say.

Fine, so we agree that a group want the station silenced, but that it has nothing to do with Ofcom saying GB News broke broadcasting impartiality rules. Bit Random.

Fine, so we agree that a group want the station silenced, but that it has nothing to do with Ofcom saying GB News broke broadcasting impartiality rules. Bit Random. Again my assertion was not as you suggested. If we move on to the Ofcom decision it is clear its investigation would be influenced by the number of complaints received as they do not even list those with less than 50. So there is a connection between the number of complaints and why and how an investigation is carried out. A campaign that tries to shine a light on any small infraction of a particular channel will affect what investigations are carried out. It is not random to believe that campaigns affect decisions.

See2 touches on Sunaks presentation, which is one of the problems. He comes across as appealing to the electorate to agree with him, even pleading, hes not telling us as a leader would. Then he backs up what hes saying with facts and figures, a mistake. Even though hes been prime minister for some time, hes learnt nothing about leading.
Hes like a workman who turns up to fix the drains, he is unaware of why the drains dont work.
Its not only the immediate problem that needs fixing, but whatever causes the problem which requires foresight, intuition, being able to see a problem in its entirety from the rain falling, to reaching the sea via homes and businesses etc.
And fixing the NHS, whats he going to do about that? Answer, who knows, or any other problem.

The full figures for 2023 ( British Audience Research Board BARB ) show that GB News is bottom of the list when it comes to the average British viewers preferance for news.
Which for me translates that it is the least trusted ... so much for posters here declaring that only GB News tells the truth, and all the others are (according to some posters ) "Left wing".
These deluded posters are more or less inferring that the British public are stupid or brainwashed.
Top of the list in 2023 is BBC News with 71% and at the bottom below even Channel 5 News is GB News with 6%
As stated previously in other topics, most people want news to be unbiased, informative and balanced

“ These deluded posters are more or less inferring that the British public are stupid or brainwashed.” So the bitter ex remainers are deluded when they tell us that people who voted to leave the EU were stupid or brainwashed ? Personally I don’t watch GB news because I can’t be bothered . That doesn’t mean I trust the BBC news more .
