Once more, my chuckling returned of how we acquire information regarding different topics, cross-reference the facts
and accept that all-in-all, the mainstream media tend to relate a fair and unbiased point of view!
Hmmm... so who are the Regulators of Ofcom?
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Independent Television (ITV), Channel 4 and lesser UK communication
companies. This why the article from the BBC below is disingenuous or some may suggest 'propaganda'.

Quote:Ofcom: The Office of Communications, commonly known as Ofcom, is the government-approved regulatorySource:
and competition authority for the broadcasting, telecommunications and postal industries of the United Kingdom.
Ofcom has wide-ranging powers across the television, radio, telecoms and postal sectors.
It has a statutory duty to represent the interests of citizens and consumers by promoting competition and protecting
the public from harmful or offensive material.
Some of the main areas Ofcom presides over are licensing, research, codes and policies, complaints, competition
and protecting the radio spectrum from abuse (e.g., pirate radio stations). The regulator was initially established by
the Office of Communications Act 2002 and received its full authority from the Communications Act 2003.

Quote:Russia Today: News channel RT's UK licence revoked by OfcomBBC:
'Russian state-backed news channel RT has had its licence to broadcast in the UK revoked "with immediate effect" by
media regulator Ofcom. "We do not consider RT's licensee, ANO TV Novosti, fit and proper to hold a UK broadcast licence,"
it explained. Ofcom is carrying out 29 investigations "into the due impartiality of RT's news and current affairs coverage of
Russia's invasion of Ukraine".
RT called Ofcom "a tool of the government".
The channel had already disappeared from all broadcast platforms in the UK earlier this month as a result of a ban imposed by
the European Union. Although the UK is no longer in the EU, the bloc applied sanctions to satellite companies in Luxembourg
and France, which provided the RT feed to Sky, Freesat and Freeview in the UK. UK Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, who
has described the channel as "Putin's polluting propaganda machine", said at the time she hoped it would not return to UK
screens.
Ofcom said its investigation took account of factors including:
RT's relationship with the Russian Federation - Ofcom said RT is funded by the Russian state,
which has recently invaded a neighbouring sovereign country
New laws in Russia which effectively criminalise any independent journalism that departs from
the Russian state's own news narrative, in particular in relation to the invasion of Ukraine
"We consider that given these constraints it appears impossible for RT to comply with the due
impartiality rules of our Broadcasting Code in the circumstances," Ofcom added.
RT deputy editor-in-chief Anna Belkina said Ofcom had "robbed the UK public of access to information".
"What we have witnessed over the last few days, be it comments from the President of the EU Commission or from PM Boris
Johnson, is that none of them had pointed to a single grain of evidence that what RT has reported over these days, and continues
to report, is not true.
"Instead, what they have said is that what RT brings to its audience is not allowed in their supposedly free media environment.
When it comes to the Russian voice, or just a different perspective from theirs, it is simply not allowed to exist."
Ofcom's chief executive Dame Melanie Dawes said: "Freedom of expression is something we guard fiercely in this country, and
the bar for action on broadcasters is rightly set very high."...'
