GB News: Ofcom Launches Formal Investigation Following 7300 Complaints | Good Morning Britain

Ofcom has launched a formal investigation into GB News after the regulator received thousands of complaints about Laurence Fox's comments on Dan Wootton's show on Tuesday. The announcement came after Dan Wootton's contract as a columnist for MailOnline was terminated, according to a spokesperson for the news website's parent company. In a statement, Ofcom said: "We have launched an investigation into GB News under our rules on offence, after receiving around 7,300 complaints about Tuesday's episode of Tonight with Dan Wootton." Wootton was suspended by GB News on Wednesday, after a row over comments made by actor-turned-political-activist Fox, who had been a fellow presenter for the channel.
It comes as a Conservative MP Caroline Noakes said GB News should be taken off air.

GB News is mainstream media. It's owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns and controls a LOT of our media and not only ours but also in the US and Australia. He is also one of the biggest tory party donors, which is probably why GB News is stuffed with tory MP's. As long as the tories are in power, Murdoch has influence in the government. Having said that, I have no objection to GB News doing what they do. What I do object to is them having "News" in their name when, what it really is would be more accurately described as opinion or reaction. I strongly believe that anything sold as news should present only facts and should not be able to pick and choose what it presents, for example GB News are quite prone to ignoring when tory MP's do something they shouldn't but they're all over it when a Labour MP does exactly the same

It’s a truly vile channel, which attracts the very worst of UK political commentators & attracts the very worst of UK peoples & their non logical xenophobic viewership, who are the very people who have voted the most far right wing,extremist TORY Government of my 40+ year lifetime into power repeatedly over the last 13+ years,which has led to the UK’s current state! Their viewers & presenters are the VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE TO BLAME for the current state of the UK!! Do they except the blame though ? Yeah,that would be shining bright,eh. Scotland have been forced 13 years of TORY rule against our will & we have had Brexit forced onto us against our will also!! Scottish independence from Englands bizarre love affair for voting silver spoon born, ‘team pro corrupt corporate,multi millionaire & billionaire club card carriers & their bought & paid for political puppets,aka the TORYS repeatedly into power,over & above the everyday working class peoples of the UK,is the no1 reason Scotland will be going it solo,at the very next opportunity. ✊🏻✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼🤜🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤛🏼✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽 !!!POWER TO THE PEOPLES!!!

I still can't get over how Garroway managed to write a book at the height of her husband's illness....and then exposed him to TV camera's. What some people will do for money and attention is breathtaking. Hats off to Michelle 😁

[@watching444]

Really, you think its reasonable and proportional to ask for a whole news broadcasting company to be shut down for one person's 'mistake' ! What a knee jerk world we now have.

[@mixerfistit5522]

It is bordering on insanity. It has to be. Who in their right mind would argue for that kind of response? Especially for ITV to echo. This is the channel who took on Jonathan Ross after THAT Russel Brand radio incident. I'm sure all channels that produce live content have had their problems and as long as it's dealt with people should just move on. Too many people have pathetic lives that they feel the need to act like a mob to cancel everyone and everything. The media love it though, as it's their platforms that benefit the most from this mentality.

[@sickoftheleftwingscum]

They don't like it because GBNews are taking their viewers it's all sour grapes but my biggest worry is OFCOM because they're biast and could cause problems for GBN ! 👍

I don't expect her articles interviews we're free. Yet there are millions of careers on the breadline, knackered etc that don't get the ear of main stream media. To say that she represents them them is saying she the in the same situation on breadline (benefits or none struggling etc). Derek was Mr.Fixer in the labour party - put people in touch with another. Had a drug habit too. Reminds of a relative who is a nurse she got discount on her new car tyres, unlike a friend who was caring for their dying husband 24/7 for 18mths at home. By the end she was skin and bone, looked awful. No discounts for her. Thought her breast milk campaign with calf was, horrible - in more ways than one.
