"The interview, aired in November and billed by GB News as a "world exclusive sit-down", featured Trump repeating long-disputed claims that human-induced climate change is "a hoax", alongside assertions that London contains police "no-go areas" governed by "sharia law"."
"Campaigners and media experts argue that these claims were either left unchallenged or actively reinforced by the interviewer, Bev Turner, raising questions about compliance with UK broadcasting rules on accuracy and due impartiality."
""I have never seen anything comparable on a British broadcaster," he said. "While this style of interview may be common on US partisan outlets, it represents a serious test of the UK's impartiality framework.""
""If Ofcom chooses not to act, it risks sending a message that impartiality rules no longer apply.""
GB News aired a November interview billed as a "world exclusive sit-down" in which Donald Trump repeated long-disputed claims that human-induced climate change is "a hoax" and asserted that parts of London are police "no-go areas" governed by "sharia law". Campaigners and media experts say interviewer Bev Turner either failed to challenge or reinforced those statements, raising questions about compliance with UK broadcasting rules on accuracy and due impartiality. Multiple formal complaints were submitted to Ofcom, including three detailed submissions co-signed by tens of thousands of viewers. Ofcom is reviewing complaints but has not confirmed a formal investigation.
