UK: Ofcom Probes GB News Over Guests' LGBTQ+ Comments
The Spin
Left narrative
GB News has now twice platformed guests linking LGBTQ+ people to pedophilia, and Ofcom's tepid response proves the regulator is failing the public. This isn't a fringe mistake but a pattern of broadcasting dangerous hate that puts real people at risk. Ofcom must stop giving right-wing channels room to repeat toxic slurs that have already been ruled in breach of the broadcasting code.
Right narrative
Ofcom never actually ruled GB News breached its code. Once fuller context was provided, the channel was cleared, yet the media keeps misreporting the outcome. Meanwhile, Ofcom ignores 34,000 people petitioning over BBC content that teaches children about breast binding. The regulator selectively targets right-leaning broadcasters while shielding establishment outlets from the same scrutiny.
