BBC star Nick Robinson has criticized Ofcom’s new guidance on politicians presenting shows during the election, arguing that it does not go far enough in ensuring impartiality. Ofcom’s guidance states that politicians who are not candidates in the election can present non-news programs, but those standing as candidates are prohibited from presenting any type of program during the election period. This means that both Sir Jacob and Mr. Anderson will likely have to retire from their broadcasting careers when the election kicks off. However, Robinson believes that all politicians should be banned from presenting shows during the election, regardless of whether they are candidates. He argues that politicians have a vested interest in promoting their own views and that their presence on news programs could bias the coverage of the election.
