GB News: A Snapshot of Anti-Muslim Hate

GB News has an excessive almost obsessive focus on Muslims and Islam – just one of the conclusions reached by Centre for Media Monitoring’s new report GB News: A Snapshot of Anti-Muslim Hate. Analysis over a two-year period (October 2022 – September 2024), including the racist riots of summer 2024 shows that GB News frequently portrays Muslims as the "Trojan horse" seeking to undermine British society, demonises Islam and regurgitates far right Islamophobic tropes.

Join our distinguished panellists as we delve into the report's key findings, share examples of Islamophobic content and discuss if Ofcom is doing enough to hold GB News to account.

Panellists:

The Rt Hon. Baroness Sayeeda Warsi – Britain’s first Muslim Cabinet Minister

Stewart Purvis – Former ITN Executive & Ofcom Regulator

Gavin Esler – Award-winning Broadcaster & Author
