## Resource

In this week’s Media Confidential , Alan and Lionel discuss Ofcom finally investigating GB News over their second airing of a controversial interview with Donald Trump. Did it fail the impartiality test? After Nigel Farage was confronted about an undeclared £5m donation from a crypto billionaire, the pair discuss how to deal with evasive politicians. They also talk about the Evening Standard running a full wraparound of Reform UK adverts on the day of the local elections. Plus, how is Matt Brittin preparing for the role of incoming director-general of the BBC? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
