They didn't buy the news channel though. Two different things. Do your f**king research, you dumb shit. No, Disney did not buy Fox News. In 2019, Disney acquired 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets—including movie studios, FX, and National Geographic—but Fox News, Fox Business, and Fox Broadcasting were spun off into the independent Fox Corporation.

Key Details of the 2019 Merger:
What Disney Bought: 20th Century Fox film/TV studios, FX Networks, National Geographic, and a controlling stake in Hulu.
What Fox Retained (Fox Corp): Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Broadcasting Company, and Fox Sports.
Reasoning: According to user discussions on Quora, the separation was likely due to regulatory hurdles (as Disney owns ABC News) and a desire to keep the news properties separate from Disney's brand.
Therefore, Fox News remains part of the Fox Corporation controlled by the Murdoch family, separate from Disney.
