I guess we ARE in the minority. I guess we could still be sitting around next year worrying about when we will be getting a cable deal.

When there is so much crying on TV by some media people, some Senate members etc. about this being a powerhouse and probably not good for consumers, no choice blah, blah, this is probably a good deal. Let's hope this thing goes thru.

Anybody listening to any of those shows on TV discussing this merger? PBS had sev. people on talking against this merger. Not because it is bad for AOL but because it is bad for consumers. They actually thought that AOL and TWX were merging because it would be a good deal for AOL and TWX. gg.

Everybody worries about choices for the consumer. Give me a break. Plenty of choices on the net and on cable. I guess they believe 1 or 2 daily newspapers in a city is a great choice. Bill Press on CNN was actually worried that with Time Warner owning Time Magazine etc. that we may not get unbiased reporting on movies anymore when it comes to their movies. Just think of that. Getting together with AOL would make a difference in reporting on a movie. gg.

Would CBS have been better? Any other ideas out there? I think AOL has come a long way when they can buy a company like TWX with their stock.
