Few weeks have demonstrated the need for honest, independent, public interest journalism quite like this one.
As Britain prepares to head to the polls for the May local elections, the Conservative Party has launched a series of highly misleading adverts seeking to scare voters about what “life under Labour” would look like.
The first of these adverts focused on Labour’s London mayor Sadiq Khan and the supposed “chaos” experienced since he “seized power” in the city. As I reported this week, the advert was filled with deeply misleading and false claims and even contained images, not of London, but of New York City.
Yet despite one small edit, the advert remains in place on the Conservative party’s social media channels, suggesting that the government’s recent bid to clamp down on online “disinformation” will not be extended to themselves. Nor, it appears, will it be extended to the Government’s own media allies or those charged with regulating them.
The ongoing impunity of the hard-right TV news channel GB News grows more remarkable by the day, as it continues to breach broadcasting regulations, without any effective action being taken by Ofcom.
The channel has repeatedly spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, and is staffed by a series of Conservative MPs, riding roughshod over impartiality requirements.
Their line up will soon be added to by the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is set to have his own show on the channel. The influence of the channel doesn’t stop there however. GB News’ key funder Paul Marshall is currently bidding to take over the Daily Telegraph, which has just hired the former Home Secretary and GB News favourite Suella Braverman as a columnist.
All of this should alarm anyone concerned about media regulation and the spread of misinformation. However, with Ofcom apparently unwilling to act, others are seeking to take action themselves.
As Julian Petley explained this week, he now plans to join with the Goodlaw Project and take Ofcom to court, unless they can explain why GB News is being held to different standards to every other broadcaster.
