Ah, but guess who is one of the people in line to take over as chairman at Ofcom? None other than ex Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre (who now only edits the Mail on Sunday):

This is from last October:

but on reading the article you'll see that:

"He [Dacre] may seek to “set the tone” in his annual report, but the actual decisions are by decision makers, final decision makers and independent committees (look at the flowcharts on the Ofcom website); he will have no right to decide on the issues in a series of statutory functions, all of which require what is called “due impartiality”."
