6. Isn't A&E owned by ABC/Disney?
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 05:00 PM by Sebastian Doyle
The "we're trying to be more right wing than FAUX" media company.

EDIT: (answering my own question)

A&E is a joint venture of the Hearst Corporation (37.5% ownership), The Walt Disney Company (37.5%), and NBC Universal (25%). The network is a result of a merger in 1984 between the ABC Arts and (pre-General Electric merger) RCA-owned Entertainment cable channels.


So there you go... a joint operation of right wing Hearst (who also printed the complete bullshit Popular Mechanics whitewash issue concerning jet fuel "melting" the frame of the WTC), right wing ABC/Disney, and war profiteer GE/NBC Universal.

Fair and balanced, of course. :puke:
