The 1% meet in the valley.

Excuse the publication but the pictures are worth seeing.

The great and the good of the media and technology world are jetting into the picturesque Idahoan mountain resort of Sun Valley for the annual Allen & Company conference, where champagne sipping and deal-making are the order of the day.

The movers and shakers on the guest list include Rupert Murdoch, Google’s Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, Intel’s Brian Krzanich, eBay’s John Donahoe, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Twitter's Dick Costolo, LinkedIn's Jeff Weiner and AOL's Tim Armstrong.

It’s likely that the seeds of several major mergers will be sown at Sun Valley, with Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of News Corporation and 21st Century Fox, the world’s second biggest media company, rumoured to be considering a buyout of Time Warner.

CNN would give him that chance. He could broadcast the Fox lies on CNN and make people believe they were true.
