American fake news network Fox News has been taken off the air in the UK.
Rupert Murdoch’s propaganda is the home of grubby presenters like Sean Hannity, airhead breakfast team Fox & Friends and the former home of the slimy, disgraced Bill O’Reilly. The network is known globally for its dishonest reporting.
In a statement the company announced, “Fox News is focused on the U.S. market and designed for a U.S. audience and, accordingly, it averages only a few thousand viewers across the day in the UK. We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the UK.”
However, the more accurate read on the departure is that Murdoch is weighing up his options to take over the 61% of Sky it doesn’t already own.
In the USA Fox News runs the White House. Trump regularly tweets Fox propaganda as policy.
The Hannity rubbish, the inane Fox & Friends bubblehead content and the ghost of O’Reilly past was too much for the UK audience.
In Australia Fox News rates less that 0.1% of the population.
