Sky stops broadcasting rightwing US channel Fox News in UK

Post by AlonzoPartriz »

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
“This decision shows the Murdochs panicking about their bid for Sky. It amounts to an admission that despite having broadcast here year after year, Fox News is not fit for UK broadcasting in the standards and ethics of its journalism. It’s yet more proof that the Murdochs can’t be trusted to own 100% of Sky.

“Stopping broadcasting in the UK changes nothing. Fox News in the US is the Murdochs’ channel, they are responsible for its broadcasting standards and the appalling racial and sexual harassment that happened on their watch. The Murdochs can’t run from their record at Fox News.”

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.

Second piece of good news!

Good riddance!

racism, Nazism, sexism = OK.
antisemitism = bad.

Surely all are bad?

Talking of racists, this bit about Trump pardoning Joe Arpaio by comic Trevor Noah was amusing. Shame it portends to something more sinister.
"Trevor Noah addressed Donald Trump’s controversial pardon of Joe Arpaio, the Arizona sheriff who once referred to his notorious Tent City prison as a concentration camp and was held in contempt of court in a case linked to racial profiling.

“Let’s move on from Hurricane Harvey to the storm that is battering the entire country: Donald Trump,” Trevor Noah began during The Daily Show. “He’s been president for seven months and, like a teenage boy with a locked bedroom door, he’s been exploring his new powers. And this weekend, Trump confirmed that he could get someone off all by himself.”

'For a guy who's not racist, Trump has a lot of racist friends'

Latinos all vote Democrat, I guess. Although I thought the Miami Cubans were Republicans. Obviously they don't give a shit about Arizona. Keep draining that swamp.
