Nadine Dorries is also the minister who had no idea how Channel 4 was funded.
How can you be the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and not know that Channel 4 receives not a penny of licence fee money or any public money - it is entirely self funded.
How could she not know this? She embarrassed herself at that committee when it was pointed out to her that Channel 4 is entirely commercially self funded.
It seems she didn't know (or want to know) that a "public service broadcaster" can be entirely commercially funded, such as ITV and Channel 4 are, even Channel 5 to a lesser degree. All three are not funded by government money
It is this lack of understanding, that questions her ability to host a proper political TV show.
