3. What may be the best part of this...

Is that Disney being who they are and have been in the past may just decide to dump faux noise entirely or change its ideology to a normal news service.

I don't think Disney would like the endless public humiliation they'll get or the boycotts that will be coming if they leave faux noise as-is.

Because if they do I kinda think they'll start losing money by the minute, because I sure will be one of untold thousands that don't watch their shows or go to their movies any longer until they wake up and smell the roses.

I'm sure Disney bought fox because they want to make money, not lose it.

4. The buy out doesn't include Fox News and related assets.

It's strictly the entertainment arme. Murdoch is keeping the news and is trying to buy more of the Sky network.

5. Crap, for just a minute there....

I had a dream, but it's ok, when dumpf goes down in flames he may just take them with him.

And with insanity being investigated his time is short I'd think, then tuckers lack of gravitas and talent will come to a head showing how much of a failed attempt at being the bmoc is inevitable.

Faux and fascists should be in the spotlight soon after where they can't survive the heat.

One can only hope.

6. "The Fox sale would not include major assets such as the Fox News Channel,"

"Fox Business Network, and Fox Broadcasting Company. Those would be spun off into a new company, and Comcast or Disney would acquire 21st Century Fox after the spinoff."

Looks like the sale mostly includes entertainment venues like 21st Century Fox's film and television studios, cable entertainment networks, the Fox Sports Regional Networks, and others.

7. Can't wait for the

X-Files/Duck Tales crossover.

10. at least fox will be renamed disney so people wont confuse it with faux news network

11. Does Disney have any military contracts?

Thought crossed my mind.

Disney has always been good at catapulting propaganda over foreign policy.
