Greening

I didn't sign up for the event, but some reports of last night's Media Society event on the topic of GB News say that Kevin Bakhurst, from Ofcom, said there was a difference between a news programme and a magazine show. 

I hope this doesn't mean that there will be lower standards of accuracy required from, say, the Dan Wootton Show or Dewbs & Co, than say, Today on Radio 4.  In 2017, Ofcom rebuked Today for allowing two unchallenged and uncorrected assertions from Lord Lawson, Honorary President of the Global Warming Policy Forum.  In the first week of GB News, Andrew Montford of GWPF made appearances with both Dan Wootton and Michelle Dewberry; Lord (Matt) Ridley told the Great British Breakfast that the world is getting greener thanks to CO2 emissions.
