GB News Fires Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson, Raising Significant Doubts Over Supporting Free Speech

If you’re tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. In a move that casts a long, oppressive shadow on the supposed champions of free speech, GB News, hosts Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson find themselves ousted from their positions following contentious remarks Fox made on air about a female journalist, Ava Evans. This incident yet again stirs the opposition between free speech and a perceived media-driven need to censor. Acting veteran-turned-political commentator, Laurence Fox, found himself embroiled in controversy when he mused how any man with respect for himself would choose to share a bed with Evans. These comments that were made during his appearance on co-host Dan Wootton’s show led to a barrage of complaints, with more than 8,800 complaints registered with media regulator Ofcom, thus spurring an investigation. Calvin Robinson, another popular host on GB News, vocalized his support for Fox alongside Wootton. However, the station radically decided to bring down the ax on both Fox’s and Robinson’s services. This shocking decision impels an urgent dialogue about the potential hazard of censorship veiled as safeguarding. Ensnared in this whirlpool of controversy, Robinson expressed his deep-seated surprise and frustration. He critiqued the hypocrisy of GB News claiming to be the home of free speech while delving alarmingly into the realms of cancel culture. This act of muffling support for colleagues and penalizing it strongly opposes the very idea of free speech that the station itself purports to uphold.
