Summary
Michael Grade, the recently departed chair of Ofcom (Britain's media watchdog), has stated that broadcasters are "embarrassed" by GB News because it covers the "agenda of the majority." Grade, who has retaken the Conservative whip in the House of Lords after stepping down from Ofcom, dismissed impartiality concerns about the rightwing broadcaster, arguing it faces the same rules as BBC, Sky, and ITN. He claims he can now speak freely after leaving his regulatory role.
