Ofcom has said it has “significant concerns about GB News’ editorial control of its live output” after rapping the network for Laurence Fox‘s highly misogynistic rant on Dan Wootton‘s show.
GB News, which is currently being investigated for around a dozen potential infringements of Ofcom’s code, was found to be in breach of the rules governing “generally accepted standards.” For the second time, Ofcom urged GB News to “attend a meeting at our offices” to discuss the breach. “In light of the circumstances of this case, Ofcom has significant concerns about GB News’ editorial control of its live output,” it said. “We are requiring GB News to provide further detailed information about its compliance practices in this area for Ofcom’s consideration.” The incident was by far and away the most complained about TV show to Ofcom in 2023.
Fox, who was fired from the network in the aftermath, said “no self-respecting man would climb into bed with” a female journalist, Ava Evans.
Host Wootton could then be heard laughing before he later apologized on social media, and Wootton is currently suspended from the channel.
