Top 20 Celebrity Reactions to the Disney/Fox Deal
If you hadn’t heard already, Disney Corporation “merged” (or purchased) Fox this week after months of backroom dealing. The deal will have wide-ranging implications for the landscape and future of both how media is created and distributed as Disney is quickly expanding it’s lead as the world’s largest media conglomerate.
