British Media Regulator Ofcom Accused of Hiding Data Showing that Rightwing GB News Is More Trusted Than Sky News or Hyper-Biased BBC
Preferences for right-wing views are surging in politics and in the news, too.
The surging popularity of the populists in Reform UK is not an isolated event: the British preference for right-wing views is also leading the pack when it comes to news channels.
But the establishment is fighting tooth and nail to hide this simple truth from the population.

Ofcom says it was an administrative error” I say more likely it was a deliberate decision because data, which had always been published before, showed GB News is more trusted by its viewers than the BBC.
Every year Ofcom issues figures in a press release showing news consumption on TV and scoring the channels for trustworthiness.
Last week , for the first time, those figures were missing and now we know why.
GB News viewers score the channel more highly for trustworthiness than viewers of the BBC, Sky News, ITV and C4.
GB News was also ranked by its viewers above all other UK broadcasters for the width of viewpoints and scored first equal with Sky News for impartiality.
You can be sure that if GB News had been voted the most untrustworthy a press release would have been issued and probably a press conference to put the boot in.
Ofcom claimed it was an “administrative error”. A likely story. Who made the error and how far up the Ofcom ladder was the decision made?
It stinks.

Lesbian Bar in Massachusetts Sparks Outrage From Patrons by Easing Mask Mandate… in 2026
Anyone who tells you that the ‘Woke’ era is over, does not know what they are saying.
In the city of Greenfield, in central Massachusetts, a lesbian bar is causing outrage from their patrons by easing mask-wearing mandates. In 2026.
This bar not only requires customers to wear masks, they require N95 masks, at all times. The bar is struggling financially, so the owner decided to make one night a week, Saturday night, mask optional.
Unhinged and angry customers are now accusing the bar of trying to kill people.
This story is from the Boston Globe:
The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled “UPDATES!” was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond.
“It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional,” wrote Last Ditch.
Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask “or better” at all times.
The new policy was not received with love.
“Just say you’re being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with,” wrote one commenter.
“people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience,” posted another.
“I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic],” wrote a third.
When the bar apologized for the new mask policy on social media, the apology was attacked for not catering to the visually impaired:
Instead of defusing the situation, the apology seemed to make things worse. The bar had erred: it posted an Instagram card without providing alt-text for the visually impaired. This set off a fresh round of accusations of ableism.
“This is not an accessible post,” wrote one user. “It indicates the lack of care or interest in Disability intersectionality.”
People on Twitter/X are marveling at the insanity of this story.
