impartiality

In a week where broadcasters with shows hosted by politicians were warned they could face fines if they break impartiality rules during the next general election campaign, Nick looks at the issues it raises about which programmes MPs should be allowed to present.

Former ITN chief executive Stewart Purvis tells us why he believes we will “see and hear things on the air we’ve never seen before” in general election coverage. And GB News presenter Albie Amankona joins the conversation to explain why he thinks the station challenges traditional news media.

And Steven Knight, the screenwriter behind Peaky Blinders and This Town shares his moment of the week.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Ashleigh Merchant, partner at The Merchant Law Firm, for an exclusive interview to talk about comments made by Fani Willis smearing her as a racist and a liar, Willis still talking about the case even after the disqualification ruling, Merchant's reaction to Judge Scott McAfee "splitting the baby," why Willis was "lying" in her infamous "church speech," Nathan Wade's resignation from the case, why it doesn't matter to the disqualification of Willis when the affair with Wade actually started, why Wade being bounced doesn't "cure" the conflict, the judge making the "safe" choice and refusing to make the "tough" ruling, what it was really like to question Robin Yeartie over what she knew about the affair between Willis and Wade, the truth about Terrance Bradley and his actions on the stand, Merchant's style in the courtroom, whether there will be investigations into Willis by the Georgia attorney general or others, the appeal process for her client, the details of her client Michael Roman's case, and more. Then Phil Holloway, Town Hall contributor, joins to talk about the detailed bar complaint against Fani Willis, why Willis could still end up leaving the case before trial, the media spin that it's "sexist" and "racist" to pursue further investigations into Willis, and more.

Laurence Fox's weird sexist rant last night on GB News got short shrift from the organisation which immediately suspended him from the platform, and followed on later by suspending their presenter, Dan Wootton.

But GB news has still got plenty of presenters on its books who spout conspiracy, confect outrage, and misinform. This didnt come from nowhere - so why is everyone suddenly arguing this is a turning point for the fledgling broadcaster? We discuss the growth and the direction of GB News.

Later, We look at 'the Voice' referendum in Australia into Aboriginal representation. Is this the Aussie's brexit moment? And will it tear the country apart?

In this episode, we speak to the author of a new report that details not only why many Americans now view the FBI as “an adversary of freedom,” but some specific ways it could be significantly reformed. Get the facts first on Morning Wire.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is racing the clock, Justices Alito and Thomas seem to be taking cues from Donald Trump's "What are you gonna do about it?" approach to following rules, Republicans are against the IRS and gun laws unless Hunter is involved, and Barr's about-face is way too little, way too late.
