> knows a lot about Fox News.

Knows a lot? Probably not. Knows enough to disapprove of it? I'd say so. Especially when limited to the market of people interested in buying American video content.

Disagree on that as well. There is going to more exposure for local channels with Fox in their names along with 20th Century Fox logo that comes on before movies.

Fox doesn't have local channels outside the US, while Fox news usually makes it into the "international news" section of most satellite TV packages

I will give you 20th century fox, but I'm not sure that registers as being the same company.

Fox has channels in India - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_(Indian_TV_channel), UK and Ireland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_(UK_and_Ireland), and many other countries - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Networks_Group#Internation...

You know, I even watched some shows on Fx but it never occured to me that it was Fox, looks like the rebrand was after I last had a tv subscription.

Not to mention that Fox News frequently is the subject of news itself.

E.g., this event got a fair amount of coverage the Netherlands:

But the general role and influence of Fox News in US politics and society is a frequent topic in journalism outside of the US as well of course.
