There was a piece in the news yesterday, about Disney buying 21st Century Fox. The President talked with his pal Rupert Murdoch about this, to find out if Fox News is part of the deal.

If that happens, watch how quickly Fox News changes from "Fair & Balanced" to "Here's what we want you to believe".

Fox news is not part of the deal......

The Walt Disney Company owns the ABC television network; cable networks including ESPN, the Disney Channel, SOAPnet, A&E and Lifetime; 277 radio stations, music- and book-publishing companies; film-production companies Touchstone, Miramax and Walt Disney Pictures; Pixar Animation Studios

And now, they're laying out $52 billion for more film and television assets.

It's just part of the plan to dominate and control content. Disney is pulling its movies from Netflix and starting its own streaming services They also own a big stake in Hulu. They don't need Fox news for what they are going to do..

The only one who needs Fox News is the President, and he needs it to stay the way it is. I don't think there's any amount you could pay Disney to take Fox News.

I didn't mean to suggest the Disney purchase was stupid. I think the TV network is part of the deal, sans Fox News. If not the entire TV network, some TV assets are included.

The other day when the President was walking to the helicopter, a reporter blurted out a question: "Are you going to pardon General Flynn"?

The President answered. "I am not going to discuss a pardon now. We'll see".

Fox news showed the clip and reported exactly how it was stated.
CNN showed the clip, and stated that the President hinted that he'll pardon General Flynn.
MSNBC didn't show the clip, but reported that the President said he'll pardon General Flynn.

Now, who the hell are you to tell me that no one but the President needs Fox News? So you hate the man. You're not alone, but right now there's nothing you can do about it. Move on!

Well, POTUS' answwer was not an unequivocal no, so the suffers of TDS had room to interpret.
Otherwise, the blogosphere and what is joking termed MSM are terminally stuck on blind hatred. That's OK. What isn't OK is the movement that has been termed the nullification project. So, thanks Mitch. I appreciate a friendly, or semi-friendly, voice.

Every network showed the clip over and over and over and over.......and it got worn out after about the 3rd time. I guess they kept playing for it the slow learners or those that were reading the closed captions....

It seems to me that every news network has its faults.
I am not personally well informed about politics and need to rely on sources of various types.
When people that I think highly of, not politicians, do not trust any national news source what should I do?
Remember that I am a damyankee in southeast Georgia that doesn't hunt, have a truck, seldom drinks an
alcoholic beverage anymore and does not care for sports of any kind. Sacrilege. Where can I find honest news?
I sometimes think I am one of the "They" in the title of this thread.
