"SNIP.....
Hours after arriving in the United Kingdom for three days of vital meetings, President Donald Trump complained about not having access to one of his favorite home comforts: Fox News.
The president first stopped to visit the American ambassadors residence in London on Monday. While Trump is accustomed to seeing his favorite conservative commentators on television when he walks around the White House, he had no such luck at the diplomatic home.
Heres why: CNN International airs in more than 200 countries and territories, including the UK. Viewers can watch Fox News in many nations too, but its not available in Britain.
21st Century Fox, the news channels parent company, took it off the UKs airwaves in 2017 because it didnt prove a commercial success. Whats more, the UKs media regulator said that the conservative channel didnt abide by the countrys impartiality rules.

An upgrade in his prescription lenses would cure him of that PDQ.
