This stupid Disney buyout of Fox is delaying the job I was celebrating in here yesterday. I dislike it greatly.

Disney/Fox merger is the beginnings of the broadcast rights bubble bursting. I've seen a lot of talk focusing on the movie aspect of it in articles, but the reality is with subscriptions dropping, ESPN isn't the cash cow it was for Disney anymore. By acquiring Fox, they're eliminating a rival bidder next time contracts come up. I'm also getting tired of the fracture that's happening in streaming services. If not for costs, for having to remember which app has what. Instead of offering all the content in the world easily, these morons are going to push people to piracy again.

I thought it was just movies and television media (outside of News and Sports).

Nick Saban got like 20000 write-in votes in the election. The hell of it is he's a way better choice than Roy Moore.

It'll be fun to tell "back in my day" stories to my grandkids about the Internet, only to realize they think I'm a crazy old coot because nobody has computers or power or water anymore due the United States of Disney only dispensing credits to the most upstanding citizens

net neutrality will be campaigned on in 2020 and made a law in 2021. I hope we nationalize the entire internet infrastructure and treat it as a regulated utility at that point. vote for butt stuff, 2024.

So in effect, ESPN now owns all the fox sports regional networks which is where fox sports gets most of its revenue right? Lol Colin Cowherd, Jason Whitlock, and Skip Bayless

It's pathological with you two. The law mandates that the FCC has equal representation from the two parties. But yeah, blame the guy whose appointee did the exact opposite.

I'm well aware of the law but a loving kindergartner could have seen that accepting McConnell's recommendation of a former associate general counsel at Verizon would lead to repeal. There was zero reason to vote for him.

And none of this would have been a problem if we'd elected the candidate explicitly dedicated to net neutrality.

My hot take is that net neutrality would have been abolished at this point regardless of who Obama appointed five years ago.

I believe net neutrality is a very good thing that eventually we will get back, but in the grand order of problems facing this country it is way down on the list. Out of the whole history of the internet we had net neutrality effectively for two years and yet the world has keep on spinning. But of course it's a nerdy white problem so we here a lot more about that than income inequality or other real problems.
