Walt Disney was a nazi, Fox is full of nazis, and Sky is borderline. So, I think they're trying to turn everyone into nazis.

WTF I love Nazis now. Hitler did nuffin wrong am I rite????
Go back to reading the guardian, perhaps they will do piece on hair-shirt darning of something you might find useful. Let the rest of us watch some well funded TV/films.
I would imagine 20th Century Fox won't exist at all anymore and it'll just be Disney? I could be wrong though

I can see that you don't understand sarcasm.
But the right wing ******** that comes out of Fox and Sky is astonishing. Anyone who can employ Bill O'Reilly (though I understand that he was removed) and Adam Boulton are certainly deserving of criticism.

Modern Disney has really tried to distance themselves from anything controversial, while as fox news makes a business out of it.
To be fair, fox could do with a touch of Disneys modern censoring policies which is essentially drop or stop funding anyone which express or advertise racism.
Maybe it could also be presented as a cartoon to reflect the ridiculous content.

Disney aren't buying Fox News, that will become it's own company.

A shame, i thought they were buying fox and its subsidiaries.
OK, a lot of jumping the gun here.
No one has bought anyone as yet. Fox's buyout of the remaining 61% of Sky they don't currently own is expected to have the preliminary report published by the CMA in January and the full report and decision around March time. This will likely be before any of the immensely complex negotiations, across borders, involving potentially dozens of regulatory bodies, governments and businesses about the Fox/Disney buyout which could even take a year or more.
For myself and my colleagues it's an exciting and potentially nervous time, but I don't really expect anything to change in the short to medium term for us. Not much changed other than a slight downswing in recruitment in certain parts of the business that I noticed. If anything the massive Premier League TV deal had a bigger effect than the news of the potential Fox merger. If this buyout, then the Disney buyout goes ahead the capital investment and expansion could be massive. France, Spain, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe have no Sky satellite service.

Fox news can afford to do it though. If they were cut loose, there are tons of wealthy private investors lining up to have the media outlet tout their crap. It happens already, i imagine some more freedom in broadcasting and less accountability is exactly what they want.
If Disney own the film branch of Fox, that would mean that the X-Men / Fantastic Four / Deadpool may be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although I'm not a fan of one company controlling such a large portion of the Hollywood film industry.

I hope we don’t lose the 20th century fox intro to movies. It’s one of the best. Iconic. Up there with the roaring lion, the stars round mountains and the Columbia lady.
