What has that got to do with this thread?

Weren't you complaining about posters acting as forum policeman?

Threads have natural variation.

Anyone who knows about Murdoch now understand that his son James involves himself far more politically than his father does...due to age and James is less socially conservative and more of a pragmatist.

I think the idea that Murdoch controls Disney politically almost amusing....it's pretty simple, just look at who sits on their board of directors.

As for Fox:

(pasted from Wikipedia)
'A Morning Consult survey the week after Election Day 2020 showed 30 percent of Republicans in the United States had an unfavorable opinion of Fox News, while 54 percent of Republicans viewed the network favorably, compared to 67 percent before the election. A McClatchy news story suggested criticism from Donald Trump as a major reason, as well as the network's early calling of Arizona for Joe Biden, and later joining other networks in declaring Biden the winner of the 2020 election.'

Fox is being slowly positioned towards the Republican centre.

I think they have made a poor call on the direction of the party post Trump but they and we shall find out.

Not really a genuine comparison is it?

This was a factually incorrect statement.

Me expressing opinions about Trump and his impact on many aspects of our lives is merely just that. Opinions. You not liking those opinions is fine. Facts are not involved.

Nothing to do with your opinions. You criticised the poster for bringing up a topic, you did not feel was relevant to this thread. I just pointed out that you have done similar, unless you know of any reason Trump is relevant to our transfer thread

I suggest you read it again.

The topic existed. I started it!

The thing that was criticised was the incorrect assertion that Fox is now owned by Disney, which was picked up and continued by others. After I had pointed that mistake out the references to Disney continued. That wasn't just bringing up a new topic which has zilch connection to the US election! It was continuing to push a connection that doesn't exist and which had been pointed out.

Which bit of this quote do you deny making?

"Media becomes the mouthpiece of whoever owns it and Fox started dying in terms of conservatism the day Disney took over."

Or am I misrepresenting it?

To repeat, Disney does not own Fox News. Murdoch has retained it. Any changes to it's treatment of Trump, or indeed it's attitudes to "conservatism", are not therefore as a consequence of any change of ownership, to Disney or anyone else.
