Concerns over the threat of "Fox News style" media standards being imposed in Britain have been exacerbated by reports of a plan to install ex-Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre as chair of Ofcom: theguardian.com/media/2021/jan…

Many advertisers will doubtless be asking themselves whether GB News is a controversy that they need to be dragged into: ethicalconsumer.org/technology/cam… #DontFundGBNews
GB News's multi-million pound backers could presumably subsidise it indefinitely if they want to. Equally, the public also has the right to say "not with my money", and ask the companies they shop with not to support GB News or any "anti woke" TV channel.

In a free society, everyone has the right to speak out & urge the companies they shop with not to advertise with "anti woke" media inews.co.uk/news/stop-toxi… #DontFundGBNews
Every company is free to choose where they do & don't advertise. Equally, every customer is free to speak out & seek to influence those advertising choices. Free speech is for everyone - not just for multi-million pound media owners... #DontFundGBNews pressgazette.co.uk/pro-brexit-fun…
"The 'anti-woke' messaging being pushed out even before any content has been... is unnecessarily polarising [and] divisive" campaignlive.co.uk/article/will-g… #DontFundGBNews
Britain's press is already the least trusted in Europe - whereas media standards in TV & radio have always been much higher. Amid growing division in UK society, the last thing we need is the "Foxification" of our broadcast media too #DontFundGBNews pressgazette.co.uk/survey-finds-t…
"GB News... actually seems designed to turn off as many younger people as possible" - interesting verdict from leading advertising industry publication The Drum: thedrum.com/news/2021/05/0… #DontFundGBNews
If to be "woke" is to be anti-racist, what does it mean to be "anti-woke"? ft.com/content/79ddc5… #DontFundGBNews
GB News's multi-million pound backers can subsidise it if they want to. But the rest of us have every right to say "not with my money"... #DontFundGBNews pressgazette.co.uk/pro-brexit-fun…
Dacre's Daily Mail was called out for "fuelling prejudice" in an international report on rising racist violence. Now it's being reported that Dacre is to be installed as the chair of the UK's broadcasting regulator Ofcom... independent.co.uk/news/media/pre…
If you're concerned about the threat of Fox News-style media standards being imposed in the UK there's something you can do. Contact your bank, supermarket, insurance company, & phone provider urging them not to advertise with any "Fox News-style" channel. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Nick Davies's book "Flat Earth News" paints a shocking picture of institutional racism at the Daily Mail during Paul Dacre's tenure. Now Dacre is reportedly being lined up to take over the UK's broadcasting regulator Ofcom. books.google.co.uk/books?id=U2E79… 
If your company buys advertising from Sky Media, you may want to double-check with them to make sure your ads don't show up on GB News #DontFundGBNews campaignlive.co.uk/article/gb-new…
Every brand that advertises on GB News will be making a clear statement about their values. #DontFundGBNews
Anyone who thinks Ofcom is going to be an effective deterrent to "Fox News style" behaviour from GB News should bear in mind that Ofcom *still* hasn't taken action against Channel 4's toxic "Traveller Crime" show - more than a year after it was broadcast inews.co.uk/news/uk/irish-…
"Ofcom likes to think it sits above politics, but there's currently a battle to get Paul Dacre in... as chair of the organisation... Any attempt to criticise GB News... would be an incredibly loaded political decision" theguardian.com/news/audio/202…
