ITV Launches Formal Investigation into Good Morning Britain Holocaust Coverage Blunder

ITV has launched a formal investigation into Good Morning Britain following a controversial segment on Holocaust Memorial Day in January that failed to explicitly acknowledge that six million victims of the Nazi death camps were Jewish. During the broadcast, presenter Ranvir Singh mentioned the six million victims but attributed the deaths broadly to disabled, gay, Polish, or other ethnic groups without specifying the Jewish identity of the majority of victims, sparking widespread outrage. Both ITV and Singh apologized for the omission, with Singh calling it a mistake. Insiders revealed that ITV executives are probing how the error occurred, emphasizing that Good Morning Britain is a flagship program and such a blunder is unacceptable, with consequences expected for those responsible. The Campaign Against Antisemitism criticized the segment for erasing Jewish victims from the genocide narrative, calling the reporting factually incorrect and deeply offensive. The investigation aims to uncover accountability within ITV for the oversight, which has been described as a humiliating headache for the broadcaster.
