Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, has issued a warning to broadcasters regarding the use of politicians as presenters during the upcoming general election period. The regulator emphasized the need for the highest level of due impartiality and cautioned that breaches, similar to recent ones by GB News, could lead to statutory sanctions. This reminder underscores the responsibilities of broadcasters to maintain neutrality.
