Fox News is not available in the UK.

Blame Rupert Murdoch.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/aug/29/sky-to-stop-broadcasting-rightwing-us-channel-fox-news-in-uk

Rupert Murdoch has taken the rightwing US channel Fox News off the air in the UK after 15 years.

His US media group 21st Century Fox said it would withdraw Fox News from Sky in the UK on Tuesday because it no longer regarded the service as commercially viable.

The decision came as Karen Bradley, the culture secretary, is set to return her verdict on whether to ask the competition regulator to launch an investigation into the Murdochs’ adherence to broadcasting standards in the UK as part of an inquiry into Fox’s £11.7bn takeover bid for Sky.

However, sources said the decision to stop broadcasting Fox News, which went off air at 4pm, was not connected to the takeover bid, arguing that the channel attracted only about 2,000 viewers a day in the UK.

“[Fox] has decided to cease providing a feed of Fox News Channel in the UK,” a spokeswoman for the company said. “Fox News is focused on the US market and designed for a US 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.”

CNN and New York Times.
I've seen many articles in Swedish papers that are directly translated from NYT without the slightest hint of questioning the source.
I suspect the rest of Europe is similar.

CNN International is actually far worse than CNN.
I watched it in ‘98 from Israel and was shocked.
Even then, it was hard core lefty with constant attacks on the GOP and Newt.

Fake news in the US and fake news outside the US. There’s plenty of reliable foreign news sites and their news of what’s going on in the US.

I happened to catch CNN last month and the actual banner along the bottom was “Trump tells 21 lies this morning” and they spent 10 minutes discussion how much lying he did that day alone... it was disgusting.

And the ‘lies’ were when he said “no Russian collusion” and “no obstruction” EACH TIME. (so if he said both of them 10 times, which he is prone to do, that counted as 20 ‘lies’)

So the UK receives nothing but CNN propaganda from the USA? Not good.

Watch it change now, though.

Why doesn’t owner @ATT do something?

We all have to ask ourselves this question.

We need to be hammering them daily on this--everyone of us.

Normally I think boycotts are fairly ineffective, but this one, even if it has no real impact, means we don't subsidize them.

If CNN labeled all its opinion, truth would be four sentences long and no more. CNN would be out of business if it only wrote truth.

We get into habits... there used to be a free press...reporting and warning the people of danger and keeping the public informed..
Free to do their job.

They are no longer reporting news they are forcing their agenda 24 hrs a day. They attack our President...for all the world to see.

This press should be taken to the wood shed and closed.

Dear President Trump, our military commander in chief,

Given your antipathy towards CNN....

Why is CNN the only tv news available on our Navy ships?

At least on the carrier I deployed on, that was it. We always knew when an op was coming down because they shut it off.
