"... it's not the BBC, you know, you actually get your facts right."

Liz Truss, Conservative Leadership Candidate, GB News

19 August 2022

Facts

GB News has platformed guests that make incorrect or misleading statements.

In July 2021 the network was investigated by Ofcom after one of its hosts wrongly claimed that an extra dose of the coronavirus vaccine was killing Britons. 

In April 2022 an interview featured the misleading claim that Coronavirus vaccines may be damaging brain cells and immune systems. 

Verdict

GB News has a record of getting its facts wrong. Liz Truss’s cheap dig at the BBC bears comparison with Donald Trump’s attacks on the media in the United States.

We emailed Liz Truss’ office offering her the chance to respond. The email was received, but no reply.
