          Isn't this all part of Murdoch's Fox empire or am I missing the point?

          I seem to remember him owing only a minority stake in BskyB, but a majority stake in Fox?

          Murdoch drives up share price of one subsidiary by using another to buy it. Is that even legal?

          ok... But fox is losing ratings fast over here because they are infotainment not actual news.

          Sad news, I will leave Sky if this happens. Fox has the worst News integrity issues. I'd be more likely to believe The Trump.
