Just watched it all back on +1 and Alice Beer is also on very dangerous ground here too: "maybe there is some huge conspiracy about 5G, maybe there's going to be something that comes out in the future".
Stupid 5G conspiracy theory aside I think people should be allowed to defend the principle to be able to question the state narrative and I don't think the line was crossed here.
If Ofcom are seen to censure such a statement it would probably just add fuel to the ridiculous fire.
While they obviously took a ratings hit from losing him, that clip must make Sky glad that Eamonn no longer presents Sunrise.
People are rightly outraged enough by the clip, add in if had been on the channel of what's still seen as a 'Murdoch company' (even though it's now Comcast who own it) and the outrage would treble
It's not "the state narrative" though, in this case, is it?
It's scientific fact.
In this case, it's both. It's important to rubbish the 5G claims, but also important to defend the right to question what we're told.
People that question the causes of global warming are due to 20th Century industrialisation are pretty well potrayed as crackpots, so is that unacceptable too?

Questioning is important. It's the thin end of the wedge for the media and authorities to start immediately slapping down people that dare to question.
There is a difference between questioning what you're told, and spouting off conspiracy theories.
