Guardian Wrote:Conservative peer Lady Noakes says she will no longer make ‘public comments of a political nature’ after Harriet Harman complained that her tweets showed clear bias.

The deputy chair of the media regulator Ofcom, Conservative peer Lady Noakes, has admitted she was wrong to criticise the Labour party on Twitter after Harriet Harman branded her a Tory “stooge”.

Noakes has said she will refrain from making “public comments of a political nature” after Harman, Labour’s deputy leader, called on culture secretary Sajid Javid to reconsider her appointment. Harman said Noakes’ Twitter account showed “clear breaches” of the regulator’s need for impartiality.

Ofcom chair Patricia Hodgson, in a letter to Javid, said Noakes “acknowledges that the political nature of some comments on her personal Twitter account were not appropriate from someone who is a member of the Ofcom board”.

Hodgson said Noakes would also sell her shares in US telecoms company Verizon, another issue highlighted by Harman, to “ensure absolute transparency” and that there was “no perceived conflict of interest”.

Harman, in a letter to Javid published earlier this week, said Noakes’ Twitter account contained a number of tweets criticising the Labour party and Ed Miliband on issues including the economy, the mansion tax and the proposed televised leaders’ debates.

So do ETV think Ofcom and the UK influence other country's and their regulators concerning TV content ? .
