Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
A recent BBC Horizon documentary misrepresented Dr T Colin Campbell's findings in The China Study. Ofcom's ruling (ref 00433122) on my complaint to the BBC was unacceptable. See petition text: http://wholistnutrition.com/bbc-campaign/4-uk-government-and-parliament-petition-text
Ofcom is "Accountable to Parliament" (https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/what-is-ofcom).
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Ofcom is accountable to Parliament, but the Government and Parliament cannot instruct it to take action in this way.
