Hello

I was made aware of this petition today.

Please sign if you agree that GBNews (also TalkTV, I believe) should be held to the same standards as other news channels

you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ofcom-hold-gb-news-to-account?source=rawlink&utm_medium=socialshare&utm_source=rawlink&share=f9bbeb02-2974-496c-a737-c2029dfc6539

(NB I am not against these channels, but I do think that they should be held to account.
I’m not a fan of GBNews, but I do occasionally listen to TalkTV / Radio, in particular, Ian Collins)

Some ongoing investigations into GNNews and TalkTV (the latter is Murdoch owned)

Thanks FannyCornforth. I’m sure that GB News viewers will want what they watch to be as impartial as all the other news channels are regulated to be. Every channel should operate to the same rulebook.

Thank you, FannyCornforth.

I haven't actually watched GB News but will have a look so that I know what I'm objecting to when I sign the 38 Degrees petition.

What started me watching GB news was clips on Twitter, of someone ranting. It was a bit like reading the H&M threads on GN, though about different things.
It is quite informative, but it would be good to see some uniformity of standards, without clamping down on the content.
IMO, GB News is the DM of TV news channels.
