Trump is angry he can't watch Fox News in the UK

Trump is angry he can’t watch Fox News in the UK

He had to watch CNN instead but then “turned it off.”

"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 ambassador’s 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.

Here’s why: CNN International airs in more than 200 countries and territories, including the UK. Viewers can watch Fox News in many nations too, but it’s not available in Britain.

21st Century Fox, the news channel’s parent company, took it off the UK’s airwaves in 2017 because it didn’t prove a commercial success. What’s more, the UK’s media regulator said that the conservative channel didn’t abide by the country’s impartiality rules.

He IS the news - does he like to watch himself on TV? Don't answer that.

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