Rupert Murdoch and his sons are pulling Fox News off the air in Britain. The network's parent company, 21st Century Fox, has announced that the controversial news channel will no longer be broadcast in the U.K. after failing to attract an audience.
The network has also become a lightning rod for critics seeking to spoil the Murdochs' planned $15 billion takeover of Sky, the top pay TV provider in the U.K.
"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 U.K.," 21st Century Fox said in a statement.
"We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the U.K.," it added.
Yes a cable news station designed to attract the most ignorant viewers in the country, fill their empty heads with lies and conspiracy theories, and then send them to the polls to vote for the most corrupt politicians imaginable.
Apparently that is a model which does not work outside of America.
Gee lucky us.
So I guess Britain will not have to deal with shit like this.
