"GB News is a particularly bad example, according to the CFMM, compared to the BBC and Sky News. In 2023-24, GB News featured in 50% of reports about Muslims and Islam. The reports were mostly negative.
GB News' reporting focused too heavily on Muslims. This seemed almost like an “obsession” and often portrayed Muslims poorly. Surveys such as the CFMM warn that this coverage could incite violence and discrimination against Muslim communities and may have contributed to the poisoned atmosphere that surrounded the riots in the summer of 2024.
Furthermore, a survey found that while most Britons do not hold anti-Muslim views, 30% of them strongly believe in at least one such stereotype. These findings underline the urgent need to take action against hate and anti-Muslim sentiment in British society and its media.
In comparison, other major broadcasters such as the BBC and Sky were found to have a more balanced approach: BBC accounted for 32% of mentions of Muslims or Islam. For Sky's news division, the figure was 21%."
