Colin describes the moment he realised something had shifted: coverage of the 2015 migration crisis, the way stories were framed back in London, and how newsroom ideology can shape everything from guest selection to what counts as “truth.” He shares the behind-the-scenes pressure inside major broadcasters, why skepticism disappeared, and why he believes much of mainstream media now operates like activism.
We also cover:
- Colin’s time at Sky News, including reporting from terror scenes across Europe
- Why he believes coverage of the migration crisis fed into the Brexit backlash
- The “incremental” nature of media bias — running order, language, and who gets invited on air
- The moment he refused an on-air demand to join public NHS clapping during COVID
- Why he thinks British broadcasting trends leftwards — and how that shapes public trust
- BBC “truth by consensus” vs adversarial truth-finding
- How newsroom incentives and ideology collide with honest reporting
If you’re tired of being told what to think — and you want a frank, insider account of how broadcast news really works — this conversation is for you.
