So, Iran's PressTV was banned, the Kremlin's Russia Today has had warnings but OfCom resisted government and right-wing pressure to ban it; is China's CGTN next?
Al Jazeera (funded by Qatar) has faced pressure too, but was cleared by OfCom over complaints about its investigation into Israel's funding of lobbyists seeking influence on UK politics. (Carter-Ruck)
Don't forget that Fox News is ruled legal - the principle being that it's clearly targeted at a non-domestic audience; a British version would be banned.
