[gulliver1]

Ofcom has fined GB News  "£100,000 for breaking impartiality rules with a programme featuring the former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. It seems Selected members of the public were invited to listen to Sunaks uncontested platform to promote the policies and performance of his then Govt in a special Q&A  session in a period just preceding the UK,GE,, Wonder which political party the audience supported. lol.

Barney Spot on ...Just goes to show what dirty tricks the Tory Party will stoop to when they are in danger of not being first in the trough.

Er, the Tories did nothing wrong here...so not a dirty trick by them. If you read it properly you'll see it was GB News who were fined.

It appears that gulliver is hard of hearing

Obviously the tories get a pass for not knowing about rules and stuff involving broadcasters, having only recently joined this politics thing. 🙄

[gulliver1]

And how many Tories have got their fingers in GB news then NMA and Barry ?

[newmodarmy]

I think any party would jump at the chance.

The BBC is far more impartial than GB News. Just look at the Question Time audiences over the last few years. Ah., forget that.

NMA.  I am sure it ain't a bloody Labour run site with the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg and Nigel Farage appearing on there regulary

[newmodarmy]

You need to work out the difference between a broadly right if centre thinking channel ( and let's face it there has been a gap in the market there) and a site run by a political party. Mogg& Farage don't run it...they are just given shows. David Lammy used to be on LBC but it didn't make it Labour run.

Looks like you watch it as you know so much.

The usual gibberish post.

Does anyone know what happens to the hundred grand? because if Ofcom are also going to trouser large sums from the MSM such as Sky and the Beeb, someone is going to get very rich.
