Good sense shown by the Brits, collectively.

This link. Not enough bozo clowns in the population to keep Hegseth et al. on the air. Possibly, a whiff of that good sense could cross the Atlantic.

But then -

“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 provided to CNN. “We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the U.K.”

While 21st Century Fox said its decision was based on the channel’s inability to attract a considerable audience, critics say it’s actually an attempt to smooth over the media giant’s bid to take over European satellite company Sky. (21st Century Fox owns a controlling stake in Sky PLC, the parent company of the London-headquartered network.)

Well, sly motives aside, that first paragraph should read, "... designed for a particular U.S. audience ...".

Hegsethians. Fools by another name.
