FORMER GB News presenter Mark Steyn has lost his bid to quash two Ofcom rulings that his show breached broadcasting standards, which he alleged had “killed” his career.

Mark Steyn took action against the regulator over its decisions in 2023 that two of his shows in 2022, both relating to the Covid vaccine rollout, breached its broadcasting code.

The High Court hearing in London was told by Mr Steyn’s lawyers  in June that the decisions lacked “clarity and coherence."

But barristers for Ofcom said there was no “realistic basis” to claim it had “obviously gone wrong” in its reasoning.

Ms Justice Farbey dismissed Mr Steyn’s claims In his ruling today, saying Ofcom was “entitled to conclude” that the shows breached its rules and that its reasons for its decisions were “detailed and comprehensive."

The regulator’s decisions related to two broadcasts of the Canadian presenter’s prime-time show on GB News, which promoted “potentially harmful” conspiracy theories about the Covid vaccine rollout.
