GB News recently did an "interview" (if you could call it that) with Donald Trump which was full of misinformation, lies and was very one sided.

I saw this petition going around and thought I would share it. I will note that with petitions they can help a little but I believe it's best to also contact whoever you're trying to petition yourself. The people in organizations you're protesting, or want change from need to "feel it". Please consider giving Ofcom a call and demand they investigate this horrible interview: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/what-we-do/contact-us you can mention that there's a petition that has already got loads of signatures.

Does anyone expect anything else from GB News?

They have a broadcast licence. I expect them to be held to the standard required to maintain that licence or have it revoked.
