But what will the Brit’s do without fake news? What about the Brits?
“…Fox News is geared toward U.S. markets and was not viewed by many people in the U.K.”
Ya gotta go where the stupid people live.
Lucky ducks!!!
Lucky them.
Admission of guilt from Murdock? And if it’s the Seth Rich case, they ought to consider punishing Hannity , the main purveyor of that bs, as well.
Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll live long enough to see Faux Snooze taken off the air in this country, but the day that happens this country will almost assuredly become more sane, more intelligent, and healthier in every respect. Too bad our government doesn’t see any need to regulate bullshit anymore.
Since a goodly number of my friends are in the UK, and hearing from this on this point, I can assure you that the UK has plenty of raving lunatics.
The hatemongers will always have a platform.
Shorter FOX: Whites in UK are not easy to fool. Amerikans, on the other hand,… well are Real Americans.
Yeah, but the day its eliminated as the unstated mission for a 24/7 faux news service that works as a propaganda tool on our cable, will be a new day indeed.
And dare I say, making up shit out of whole cloth will once again become an unacceptable form of doing business and having the audacity to call yourself “news” will be hopefully come under stricter standards.
Ahhh the UK. My Grandmother was British and this is entirely in the spirit of all things British. All the English have to do is take a look at what FOX has done on this side of the pond and they can make their decision easily. FOX News and Mr. Murdock ( an immigrant ) have done more damage to the USA than any enemy we’ve confronted in our history. I firmly believe that was Mr. Murdoch’s intent. It’s just to perfect a fit for it not to have been.
Counterpoint: Brexit.
The last time I was in Canada I did not see Fox on its cable system.
Well, Canada was smart enough to keep them out.
His only intent was to make money. He’s not even that political, having palled around with politicians of all stripes. When he needs to be a local citizen to start up a new media product, he becomes a citizen or marries one. Whatever it takes.
He’s made fortunes around the world printing tabloid rags and broadcasting sleazy gossip. It always sells bigly. The ratings on FOX have been spectacular until lately, after the sex scandals and all. All those suckers, born every minute? They are Murdoch’s customers. They’ve made him a billionaire many times over.
I think that’s because laws in Canada are very strict regarding inciting and fake news etc.
Translation: Fox embarrasses the shit out of us and may cost us this deal. Anyway, we have the Murdoch print operations to continue to spread right-wing fuckery in the UK.
Yep. Sinclair Broadcasting will overtake Fox in a year or so … and Fox will either have to double down on its alt-right propaganda or reformat its whole reason for existence.
