GB News interview with chancellor breached impartiality rules, says Ofcom

9 months ago

GB News breached impartiality rules in an interview with Jeremy Hunt, the broadcasting watchdog has found.Philip Davies and Esther McVey, two Tory MPs who host a regular show on the channel, interviewed the chancellor ahead of the Spring Budget in March. The watchdog said the interview failed to include an "appropriately wide range of significant views". GB News said it was "disappointed" by the decision, and called Ofcom's definition of impartiality "imprecise". In its submissions to Ofcom, GB News argued the programme, which included multiple guests, gave "due weight" to other views. The broadcaster argued the interview was approached "from the perspective of 'the right'" and it allowed for a free debate on a wide range of views. This is the third breach of Ofcom rules recorded against GB News since it launched in June 2021.
