While we recover from the long weekend, check out this DeSmog analysis : a third of GBNews hosts spread climate denial and half attacked climate action, as the UK news does its best Fox News impression. It's "damning" research, Scottish National Party (SNP) MP John Nicolson told DeSmog, showing how “GB News prioritises polemicists over journalists…" with broadcasts that "pollute public discourse with right-wing propaganda." Allison Fisher of Media Matters, said GBNews is using "a similar playbook as Fox News," and Nicolson said that "We do not want to go further down the American Fox News route of unchallenged, often scientifically illiterate, culture war propaganda spewing into our homes.”
Green MP Caroline Lucas told The Guardian that “Now more than ever, people deserve trustworthy and accurate news from our media – this truly toxic misinformation on GB News is not it. Ofcom cannot allow these statements to go unchallenged and uninvestigated.”
