Controversy

In the United Kingdom, Bloomberg TV was severely reprimanded for breach of Ofcom rules during the 2005 UK national (General) election. Bloomberg TV was found to have showed pro-Labour Party bias [UK broadcasting regulator report; http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/obb/ocsc_adjud/bloomberg.pdf#search=%22bloomberg%20ofcom%22] . This occurred due to a breach of British law. In the run up to a general election television channels must provide equal time to all major political parties. Bloomberg covered the release by the Labour Party of their so-called "Business Manifesto" but did not provide counter-balancing air time to the Conservatives or Liberal Democrats.
