UK Statutory Broadcast Rules vs. Print Press Liberty
The Core Paradox: In the UK, television news (Channel 4, BBC, ITV, Sky, GB News) is legally governed by the Communications Act 2003 and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code (Section 5), requiring "due impartiality on matters of major political controversy".
However, newspapers like The Sun, The Daily Mail, or The Guardian operate under unregulated print freedom (IPSO code), free to champion political parties and slant coverage as they please.
As highlighted in media analysis: Accuracy is not impartiality. Even when 100% of reported facts are undisputed, dedicating 18 minutes to public sector strikes or 18 minutes to asylum boats fundamentally alters public perception without uttering a single untruth.
