Comcast is trying to buy Disney. My gut reaction to any situation where content producers and distributors join up is negative. But if we've already allowed it to happen with AOLTime-Warner and Rupurt Murdoch's News Corporation, I begin to wonder if competition between these media giants becomes desirable. It seems like accountability for these giants, short of making them break up, comes in the form of making more of them, to police each other. I'm still a bit squeemish, but not nearly as much as I was about earlier mergers.
