Daily Beast article "'Epstein Wasn't a Pedophile:' How British Fox News Copycat's Launch Turned Into a Disaster"
from the article "...freaked advertisers have already started abandoning the network in their droves."
other quotes from the article:
It has also been relentlessly targeted by cheeky pranksters who have been trying their best to get oblivious hosts to read out obscene names. Despite only being on the air for three days, “Mike Oxlong” has already made an appearance, as well as the oldest trick in the book, “Mike Hunt.”
advertisers are running a mile
In a segment about British anti-wokists’ favorite topic, Meghan Markle...

[Lady Colin Campbell] said it wasn’t fair to call Epstein a pedophile because he tended to prey on teens, which she said actually made him an “ephebophile.”
