I found out that Fox News is available in many countries according to: https://www.foxnews.com/story/where-in-the-world-is-fox but the problem is the article is old. So I wanted to poll people from Europe and see what cable/satellite/whatever else is still offering Fox.

Why allow disinformation from America to come into Europe? My idea is it would be easy to convince TV providers not based in the US to drop Fox because it likely has low popularity and it’s likely costing them a lot. Fox News earns a lot of money with transmission fees.

Please let me know if you are in another country, subscribe to some kind of TV service and are able to receive Fox “News”.

The same could also apply to other right-wing propaganda stations that come from the US like Newsmax.

    That’s a great update! Also remember to include the foreign ownership. According to https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/newsmax-bias-credibilty-reliability/

    In 2024, it was reported that between 2019-2020, Former Qatari government official Sheikh Sultan bin Jassim Al Thani invested $50 million in Newsmax through Heritage Advisors. The paper cited sources employed at Newsmax at the time as saying that they were urged to soften news coverage of Qatar — a claim that the outlet rejects.

    It reminds me a little of how GB News is owned by an investment firm in Dubai. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legatum

    Legatum Limited is a private investment firm, headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[1] Legatum was founded in 2006 by Christopher Chandler. Legatum owns the British broadcaster GB News.

    * of course I’m just joking about including this in the article, it would be too long for the table to list all the problems with Newsmax, what you have is great!
