After a series of complaints from the apathetic, uninterested and disenfranchised, Ofcom has ruled that TV coverage of the election, across all channels, has been unfairly biased against those that ‘couldn’t give a toss’ about the election. One non-voter reacted positively to the ruling. ‘I’ve been subjected to this for weeks now,’ she said. ‘It’s ridiculous. If I want to stick my head in the sand and only watch TV for non-thought provoking escapism that’s my business. And Theresa May on ‘The One Show’? That’s a disgrace!’
A spokesperson for the BBC said it would challenge the ruling by pointing out that it had given high profile coverage to Pippa Middleton’s wedding. ‘That’s not the election – and you couldn’t get a less newsworthy story. Talk about banal.’ Although he did add that plans for the party leaders to read their manifestos on CBeebies Bedtime Stories had been shelved.
