The Government’s state censor, OFCOM, is now actively attempting to clamp down on any debate about climate change that challenges establishment orthodoxy.
Two decisions by OFCOM this month have made this crystal clear.
Climate Change is a Hoax – Trump
The first concerns a GB News interview with President Trump, in which he called climate change a “hoax”.
According to the Telegraph:
“GB News is facing an investigation over claims it broke broadcasting rules by failing to challenge Donald Trump when he called climate change “a hoax”.
Ofcom said it had launched an investigation into a re-run of a GB News interview with Mr Trump for the midday broadcast of The Weekend
The regulator previously declined to launch an investigation into the original airing of the same interview 12 hours earlier, on GB News’ The Late Show Live, stating the programme had featured “alternative perspectives” as part of a panel discussion.
The new investigation concerns a second screening of the sit-down interview on Nov 15. OFCOM is expected to examine the surrounding content shown alongside the interview.”
I am not quite sure what right OFCOM think they have to challenge anything a foreign leader says. The President is fully entitled to his views and, whether OFCOM like them or not, the public have a right to hear them and make their own judgement.
