Leaked Emails Prove UK Government Use TV Shows to Push Narratives
FOI Request Reveals Correspondence between the UK Government and the Mainstream Media on Pushing Narratives.
Freedom of Information (FOI) request reveals direct collaboration between government departments and major broadcasters, including ITV, Channel 4, and the BBC.
Pushed pro vaccine, "Stay at Home", and climate policy narratives into fictional shows. -
In this investigation, I analyse internal UK government documents obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, which reveal direct collaboration between government departments and major broadcasters, including ITV, Channel 4, and the BBC.
We look at:
- How the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department of Health coordinated narrative influence.
- Which broadcasters were involved?
- What messaging was pushed (vaccines, "Stay at Home", climate policy).
- Why this raises serious questions about editorial independence.
