ITV's This Morning has flirted with Ofcom sanctions in recent years, escaping action for calling chemists 'pretend doctors', carrying features on 'bondage for beginners' and eight-year-old pole-dancers, apologising for confronting David Cameron with a list of alleged paedophiles, and then going easy on Boris Johnson.
On the Today programme this morning, former BBC news deep-thinker Mark Damazer called Eamonn Holmes' remarks on the ITV show yesterday about 5G and coronavirus a "hopelessly irresponsible, stupid piece of broadcasting". Oh, how we miss Mark.
The head honcho at This Morning is Martin Frizzell, last heard of socially-isolating with his wife Fiona Phillips. A good thing to do would have been to carry a big apology this morning. Our Eamonn said merely that he was misinterpreted "However many people are rightly concerned and are looking for answers, and that was simply what I was trying to do, to impart yesterday. But for the avoidance of any doubt, I want to make it clear: no scientific evidence to substantiate any of those 5G theories. I hope that clears that up." .
