Warner Bros. Discovery Defends Docuseries On Divisive Tory Politician Jacob Rees-Mogg: “We’re Not Giving Him A Platform” — Edinburgh


Warner Bros. Discovery claimed that it is not giving Jacob Rees-Mogg an unfettered platform as part of his new docuseries 'Meet The Rees-Moggs.'

Meet The Rees-Moggs created plenty of noise in the UK when it was announced earlier this summer, with tabloid newspapers nicknaming the series Mogglebox and comparing it to the The Kardashians. Reid was asked to justify giving a platform to an MP who has described abortion as a “cult of death” and has used in Parliament the phrase “yellow peril,” which is considered offensive by the East Asian community. Discovery played a clip of the series, in which Rees-Mogg said inviting cameras into his life was “slightly like Big Brother is watching you.” He joked: “I think this will be a rather different kettle fish from The Kardashians.”
