Broadcaster GB News breached Ofcom rules when a Covid vaccine sceptic compared the jab to "mass murder", the regulator has said. It is the second time the broadcaster has now been found in "significant" breach of the Ofcom rules.
The watchdog said the breach came during an episode of The Mark Steyn Show in October last year. It featured an interview with author Dr Naomi Wolf.
During the broadcast she said the vaccine roll-out was pre-meditated crime, likening it to "mass murder" and compared it to the "doctors in pre-Nazi Germany". Ofcom received 422 complaints, alleging the comments were “dangerous” and included “misinformation” that went “unopposed”.
