news.sky.com/story/laurence-foxs-misogynistic-comments-on-gb-news-broke-broadcasting-rules-ofcom-says-13087094
Quick Glance: Ofcom: Laurence Fox's 'misogynistic' comments breach rules
- Media watchdog Ofcom has ruled Laurence Fox’s “misogynistic” comments about journalist Ava Evans on Dan Wootton's GB News show broke broadcasting rules which protect “viewers from offensive content”.
- The watchdog has said the offence has raised 'significant concerns about GB News' editorial control of its live output.'
- The episode, which was broadcast on GB News on September 26, received 8,867 complaints with viewers objecting to the “misogynistic comments” made by actor-turned-politician Fox about about political correspondent Ms Evans.
- They added Wootton's reaction did not mitigate the potential for offence but rather 'exacerbated it' by 'contributing to the narrative in which a woman's value was judged by her physical appearance'.
