Yes It is part of Rupert Murdochs media empire. It appearshe is pruning some of his assets. I have also heard that Disney is pulling out of Netflix, and staring its own pay channel!! Ken Finch. [Roll Eyes]

When Walt Disney opened Disneyland in California, the entrance fee was $1.00. Now its about $115.00. The Walt Disney Company was a fabulous place to work when Walt was running the show, but the magic died with him. Now its all about money.

The Fox news team has just been updated.

Mickey Mouse as the main anchor

Donald Duck as the Weatherman

Pinnochio as special assignment (Politics, Religion, and other fake news.....)
