Robinson had expressed solidarity with Dan Wootton, saying standing up for him was ‘standing up for the very idea of GB News’
Calvin Robinson has become the thirdpresenter to be suspended in the last three days, as the channel struggles to contain the fallout from the misogynistic comments made by Laurence Fox.
Two hours later Robinson also fell, with GB News confirming he had joined Fox and Wootton in being suspended.The latest suspension lays bare a schism between staff at GB News who want to lean fully into more extreme culture war rhetoric and those who are embarrassed by the damage caused by Fox and Wootton’s exchange. The channel is now facing 12 active Ofcom investigations, as the media regulator struggles to handle the GB News approach to broadcasting.
He added that GB News would be on “borrowed time” if it did not stand by Wootton. “I get that people have to pay the bills. But GB News is more than a job. It’s certainly more than a chance to be on the telly. It is a mission,” he continued. “An opportunity to shift the dial in public discourse. To have the conversations the shills on other channels cannot or will not have. We must do all we can to avoid GB News becoming just another MSM [mainstream media] outlet. Which it will, if we let it.
