Question Time, 大象传媒 One, 29 February 2024

Complaint

A viewer complained that the selection of the panel was biased, as no member of the then Government had been included.聽 The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 大象传媒鈥檚 editorial standards of impartiality.


Outcome

The selection of panellists is a matter for the editorial discretion of the programme-makers, and the ECU can only concern itself with whether the contents of the programme were duly impartial.聽 Nonetheless, the ECU noted that on this occasion the panel included a Conservative member of the House of Lords and a Conservative-leaning commentator, and found the programme overall consistent with the 大象传媒鈥檚 standards of impartiality.
