The Murdoch-owned Fox News Channel, whose determinedly patriotic stance during the Iraq conflict brought it critical notoriety but commercial success, is under investigation by television regulators in Britain for alleged bias.
The independent television commission is investigating nine complaints by viewers of the channel, broadcast on Sky Digital satellite, also controlled by Rupert Murdoch.
If the network is found to have breached the ITC's "due impartiality" rules, it could be forced out.

TV regs in Britain are very different to newspaper ones.
Ha! I'm just watching Faux for a larf right now, with the indignant and ignorant ***** of a host bleating on about we don't have 1st amendment rights in the UK and therein lies the trouble. roll
Saw an advert for "The O'Reilly Factor" on a bus in Portland the other day and it sparked off a thought for my next reality TV show.....
How about "The O'Reilly Factor" where Bill O'Reilly is air-dropped into, say, the middle of Iran (parachute optional) and then has to use his wit, charm, love of all people who are not American and diplomacy skills to safely reach the Iraqi border?
Definitely an improvement on "The Krypton Factor" and obviously, an easy improvement on the current show he fronts....
