None of this really matters unless Americans can find a way to make the odious Murdoch shed Fox News and his other toxic media holdings before booting him back to Canberra.

No thanks. Dude's a naturalized American citizen now. We don't want him back.

Hopefully some other company will swallow up CNN, and show them how to deliver Real News programming and Investigative Documentaries. Todate, it really does seem that the BBC World Service has simply no competition, something surely needs to be done in order to further the quality ?

Disney's weakness in its challenge against Netflix has been TV programmes - now it's strengthened that (also Disney and Fox each owned 30% of Hulu, so now Disney owns it 60%)

And now Marvel could reunite the X-Men, Wolverine, and The Fantastic Four with The Avengers

Lucasfilm again has the original Star Wars

I guess it's a Small World after all. I don't like Disney.

I'd like to see a Hollywood with many diverse movie making companies.

I don't think Santa's listening to me though.
