Why Was my post deleted? Does pointing out lies by a leader and the host failing to hightlight said point not count? It still bad enough the media Espeical tv deals with certain fake facts and passed them off as true....

It says on the EPG listing Fox News is going to be "unavailable due to reporting restrictions around the general election" from 5am to 11pm UK times on Thursday. I don't think this happened in the 2015 election... or did it?

I believe it's also the case that the "media blackout" kicks in at 00:30 BST on polling day, which makes the 5am start even more strange.
5 until 11 seems strange - don't polls close at 10pm?

I knew I hadn't imagined reading it somewhere. It's the BBC who self-impose a 00:30-22:00 blackout.
