re: Disney attempting to buy 21st Century Fox

For Fox, the willingness to engage in sale talks with Disney stems from a growing belief among its senior management that scale in media is of immediate importance and there is not a path to gain that scale in entertainment through acquisition. The company is said to believe that a more tightly focused group of properties around news and sports could compete more effectively in the current marketplace.
The media landscape has changed considerably in recent years with giants such as Facebook, Google (Alphabet), Amazon and Netflix changing the way people consume media and dominating the digital distribution of digital video content. Being able to compete in that changing landscape, many people believe, requires scale that a Disney has, but 21st Century Fox does not.
So they think that instead of making their own or partnering with an existing streaming service for their entertainment media the right move is to base half their business on content they will never own and the other half on an industry that is getting it's balls kicked in by emergence of online news media?
Bold strategy Cotton...

Hopefully this never happens. Not only does it affect movies/tv, but you would be talking about Disney owning both ESPN and Fox Sports.

Supposedly they don’t want FoxSports due to antitrust concerns.

Nope. From the article.

Disney would not purchase all of Fox, according to people with knowledge of the talks.
The company could not own two broadcast networks and would therefore not buy the Fox broadcast network. It would not buy Fox's sports programming assets in the belief that combining them with ESPN could be seen as anti-competitive from an antitrust standpoint and it would not buy the Fox News or Business channel. Disney would also not purchase Fox's local broadcasting affiliates, according to people familiar with the negotiations.

That’s reads like code for,”since we can’t aell everything to Disney due to antitrust issues, we have another buyer lined up to purchase the rest of our crap”

Jesus, imagine a full blown X-Men and Fantastic Four makeover
Imagine Disney killing half of the Marvel and Fox movies so that they're not canibalizing each other on the release schedule.
