"A fool there was." in fun

Some points about the Disney-Fox merger, a reason for which Murdoch is mentioned in the photo:
-Fox News is legally-owned by the Fox Corp which is not part of Disney. Same goes for Fox Network and a few other Fox channels. However, channels like FX are now Disney-owned.

-Fox selling back those Marvel rights to Disney? Sure. However, at least give Fox Lucasfilm. Then, at least Fox would have had at least 1 major media franchise (Star Wars) to mooch off of. Don't end a storied movie empire like that! It's sad!

-Some info about the person who Fox News is named after. For all practical purposes, Fox News was "born" in 8/1919 and it was in Oct. 1919 that they began being shown regularly on movie screens as newsreels: twitter.com/jbenton/status/1218362632849317888.

-Shame on Rupert Murdoch for selling off most of the Fox Empire, for the USDOJ permitting a semi-monopoly, and Disney for buying. 1000s of lay-offs are not worth it. Uncle Walt and film producer William Fox would not approve of this merger.

You can find the source photo on the Wikipedia page "William Fox (producer)". "A Fool There Was" is a famous silent fox movie starring Theda Bara, the first name-brand movie sex symbol. As mentioned by the Wikipedia paged called "A Fool There Was (1915 film)", the movie was inspired by "the 1909 Broadway production A Fool There Was by Porter Emerson Browne, who in turn based his play on Rudyard Kipling's poem The Vampire.[1]"

Her photo is from ipwatchdog.com/2012/01/19/supreme-court-oks-public-domain-works-being-copyrighted/id=21867/

6 judges agreed to have Congress rob the public domain but at least Breyer and Alito
were correct to oppose Golan V. Holder's ruling.
