It was more than a mention, it was an essay on fighting for his particular "pure" GB News.
No employer, let alone a broadcaster, can allow its staff or contractors to breach instructions about internal staff issues or breach non disparagment clauses in a contract. Do you think GMBs team didn't want to comment on Piers? The ITV Daytime team comment on Scofield? Sky News team with the Burley/Rigby suspensions? They didn't becouse of professional obligations.
So it's about trust not free speech; and Calvin isn't stupid and knows that, however much living in a conspiracy universe may have addled his judgment.
GBNews could take the opportunity to pivot to professional presentation and comment sections that stay true to its audience's issues but don't venture into conspiracy. You can have strong opinions like Nana Akua that are professionally presented, delivered in line with the editorial choices of the production team that work for the audience/channel, but don't approach everything from an extreme or msm conspiracy angle.
