because we ran out of space

@jumpingthroughhoops, you said;
Basically, at the start of the pandemic, Ofcom issued a directive prohibiting the MSM from commenting/running any coverage criticising the govt's pandemic response and/or that challenged the 'preferred narrative' around (but not limited to) govt policy, lockdown, masks, mandates, jabs, the science and such like.

what I found on the Ofcom site, reads differently imo, I have included a screenshot. I am also linking to the page because Ofcom have published the guidance notes and also investigations/decisions/sanctions against programs that they felt provided harmful information. I haven't had chance to read these yet, maybe others can

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/information-for-industry/guidance/broadcast-standards-and-coronavirus

do you have any other sources of information that you would like people to see?

I just had a quick look at the Mark Steyn breach. I think it is totally correct that he presented misleading information. he stated that the 3rd COVID vaccine significantly increased your chance of getting COVID. this demonstrates his lack of understanding of 1) statistics and 2) vaccinations

the people getting the 3rd vaccination were more likely to be the people who were vulnerable...those who worked in heath care/with the public etc. And vaccinations don't prevent you from getting COVID, they reduce the severity
