Sure, blame the Aussie ;) There's no denying it though, is there? Murdoch came from moderate wealth (he actually was educated at the top school where I live) and had a leg up in the newspaper business through his father, but what he's built in the decades since is obviously vastly beyond what he started with. Very intelligent, but ruthless and of course pretty loose in his ethics. Unfortunately too many others have followed his example.

However in regards to Disney I actually don't think Walt would like what has become of his company. I'm sure he'd be pleased with its success, but the way it has swallowed up a lot of other creative endeavors and imposed upon them its own narrow image I think would be offensive to a man who was an artist and innovator at heart.

There use to be something called Regulations and Anti-trust Laws in the US that once upon a time kept some abuse of the public in check. Unfortunately oligarchs reign
supreme in our economy today.

“In total, Disney posted a fiscal third-quarter net loss of $460 million, or 25 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $1.41 billion, or 77 cents a share. Revenue rose to $22.3 billion vs. $21.5 billion a year ago. Excluding one-time items, per-share earnings were $1.03 a share.”

Since you were a shareholder at one time, I see that Disney's Revenues flat lined compared to prior year, but the loss they took included significant one time charges which w\o showed their EPS increasing from .77 to 1.03. What the help were those one time charges? Are they to be expected to occur again because if not that actually
would say Disney is doing a good job managing their costs.
The stock market = the economy crowd are hilariously naive.

In this case even worse, he is deliberately obtuse.
