The recent Centre for Media Monitoring (CFMM) report highlights systemic bias and inflammatory reporting by GB News regarding British Muslims and Islam. Over two years, GB News mentioned Muslims or Islam over 17,000 times—nearly 50% of all mentions on UK news channels. The report reveals disproportionate coverage, promotion of far-right tropes, and misinformation that contravenes Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code on impartiality and accuracy.
Key findings include GB News disproportionately associating Muslims with the summer riots, dedicating 62% of its coverage to this narrative—over three times more than BBC and Sky News combined.
