ABC/Disney the same thing. Like Disney, they each have other money-making enterprises that keeps the whole ship afloat; but they have compartments in the hold that are flooding with red ink - and they accept that.

The media elites are truly this country's enemies. Some have even said (stupidly) that China has a better system. Some Silicon Valley companies are helping the ChiCom military while openly condemning our military. They are our enemies and we have become entirely too tolerant - encouraged by the media elites.

The media is the enemy. Disney is dropping billions right now. The took on 57 Billion in debt to buy FOX, and just raised 6 billion in debt for operating expenses. ESPN will drop 700 million just on the NBA if the season is shut down for good. Parks raise 37% of their revenue, and those are shut down world wide. Theaters are closed, so they can't release movies. Onward was already a bust, but got dropped to "straight to streaming early. Mulan and Black Widow have already racked up expenses, but can't release and may have to drop direct to digital. All other productions on hold. Disney cruise lines is a sink hole of money right now.

Everyone talked about Star Wars being a big acquisition at 5 billion, and they've come nowhere close to making their money back on that, but the 57 billion for Fox is incredible. The mouse is in trouble, and I'm okay with that, but hate to see the working stiffs, like park employees get shafted.

Interesting one by STROPPY ME--the Aussiie--from 18 MAR 2020

Interesting because a number of sources are saying the same or similar things.

COULD be a very interesting week or so ahead beginning tomorrow.

How much is disinformation or wishful thinking remains to be seen. Nevertheless, there are Q drops of similar bent.

I heard a rumor that Apple is looking at Disney as a possible acquisition to give them content for AppleTV. Apple is sitting on about 200B in las so plausible.

Think they might try for Warner from ATT, myself.

You have nailed it perfectly... and quite informative. Disney is within spitting distance from me and of course, as you say, the employees will take it on the nose. Besides the parks, ESPN must be all but shut down. I didn't know about the flicks but it sounds reasonable; I know Disney started a pay-per-view sort of arrangement on the web so whatever on that score.

NBC is a bit of a stunner for me. I used to work in association with their news and sports segments. CNBC seems reasonably sane but MSNBC is off the deep end. They continue to present Rachel Maddow as a journalist despite the fact that she has not been correct about practically anything for years. Last week, I understand, she promised that the US Navy hospital ship, Comfort, would NOT be in NY harbor in a week - count on it - because Trump is a big incompetent liar. The Comfort sailed into NYC yesterday and there will be no retraction or apology from MSNBC, Maddow will not be sent down. She will continue to 'moderate' Democrap debates as if she had a clue about reality. It is just a stunning phenomenon.

When the Comfort sailed in to NY Harbor Mayor deBlasio thanked the Navy and its dedicated staff, but I never heard him mention a thanks to Donald Trump, who facilitated the transfer of the ship to NY... these Democraps are the most despicable animals that people the surface of this earth; like good Marxists, the party is everything and anything else is secondary.

Most of the commentators on CNN and MSNBC are demonstrably psychotic yet their blather continues interminably as if that was perfectly normal. The good guys should be condemning it as destructive to the unity of the nation at a time of crisis. Our enemies are sick with psychosis and the APA can go to blazes!
