Perfect. Fox News is just Fake News fantasy anyway.

Yes, the end of FOX News. Disney will have fabulously gay leftist talking heads worse than CNN.

Disney had Swinestein bros. and their Miramax through all the years they were churning out left-wing agitprop while Harvey was harassing and raping actresses.... oh, and wanking into potted plants to impress the ladies

Agreed. Disney’s been a leftist endeavor and increasingly promoting the pro-homo agenda for quite a few years now. I try not to give Disney any of my money — I’ve been boycotting the company for a long time and have been dismayed as it’s gobbled up more and more of the entertainment industry (Marvel, LucasFilms, et al.). Disney has its fingers in so many pies now that it’s getting hard to avoid.

Wait, I thought Iger was a Democrat, why does he have an “(R)” near his name?

And great, at this point, we need the shareholders to do to him what they did to Eisner if we’re ever going to fix Disney completely.

It’s worse. It means Disney is a big monopoly in media and it means that as a monopoly that quality will likely go down the tubes, but they will be your only option to buy from. How long can Paramount last against this megacorporation before Disney buys them out too?

Too bad because they killed Quicksilver already, unless Thor or whomever can wish him back with the gauntlet after beating Thanos.

Maybe Tony Stark can rebuild Helen Cho’s autodoc booth and repair his damage? Who’s to say they didn’t throw his only-mostly-dead body into a cryofreeze chamber the minute they got back on the Helicarrier. They might have kept his sister from finding out, just in case it didn’t work.

Fox news is not part of the sale. It remains with NewsCorp.
Only the entertainment assets are being sold.

But the gauntlet, with the gems, grants your wishes. If someone gets the gauntlet, they will alter the universe with his/her desires. Thor could alter history like Flashpoint, and given what happened with Ragnarok, if Thor gets the gauntlet, Asgard would be brought back because of what Thor desires, along with possibly an undoing of a lot of what has happened. The reality is that with the 20th Century Fox acquisition, they are likely going to reset a lot with Infinity War to shoehorn in X-Men and FF, and likely organize for Secret War if they are viable to explain, among some things, how Spider-Man got the symbiote (Venom is part of the MCU) or how they got a team-up movie with Fantastic Four and/or X-Men. Given how long the Avengers actors have been on, expect Spider-Man, Black Panther, and others to get more focus, especially X-Men and Fantastic Four.

At this rate, the only way we can save Disney from itself is to outright confront it, force Iger to resign, and make SURE that the board of directors either replace him with someone who not only does hold Walt’s values with respect, but also will go out of his or her way to remove any leftist influence in the company. We can’t wait for Iger to do the honorable thing and quit, that boat’s long sailed off, and boycotting isn’t going to work with the likes of Iger, who’d rather push any and all leftist ideas to everyone he can regardless of whether the company turns a profit (something not even Eisner, the guy who Iger replaced, tried to do to THIS extent, and that guy was also far left as well, though he was a moderate compared to Katzenberg and ESPECIALLY Iger.).

Exactly, looks like a disaster. Leftists will control every main television station now.
