It was a great deal for AOL stockholders -- they got something out of the inflated stock price before the bubble burst. TW shareholders got royally screwed.

"Even with that and the break with AOL, Time Warner will remain one of the largest media companies in the world, with cable networks, magazines and a movie studio. It is also the parent of CNNMoney.com. "

Conveniently left out of the CNN article is the fact that after Time-Warner splits off the loser AOL, it will begin the process of unloading their other money hole, Time Inc.. Give that stand alone fossil about a year.
