| I had to look to see whether this was NewsCorp Fox or Disney Fox. In the 00s I did some contract work at Fox Filmed Entertainment (the part of the company later bought by Disney) which was introduced during interviews as Fox Filmed Entertainment We Have Nothing To Do With Fox News. |

| Disney has been slowly but delicately clipping the name Fox out of the company names and public facing brands it bought, presumably to further distance from the remaining parts at News Corp (Fox News): 20th Century Fox to 20th Century Studios (which is a sort of funny unwinding of the 1935 merger, I think especially because 20th Century is now such a dated term), Fox Searchlight to Searchlight Pictures, things like that. Most of those brands also generally now report on the org charts directly to their pre-existing Disney counterparts or as direct peers to them and the "Fox Filmed Entertainment" middle layer seems to be almost entirely gone now (as there's no replacement for that name). At this point it does seem easier to not have to look up if something is NewsCorp Fox or the parts of Fox that Disney bought because Disney no longer calls them Fox. |

| Whats the relevancy here of which Fox subsidiary you did contract work for as it relates to the Roku offer? |
| |
| ▲ | asveikau 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | These aren't subsidiaries of each other. They're different companies with different ownership. So the name Fox is ambiguous. | | |
| ▲ | ben4next 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | If you read the comments here i think you can determine without a doubt which Fox we're talking about. The unhinged came out in full force. | | |
| ▲ | solid_fuel 4 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | "Unhinged" opinions like "don't put your propaganda on my TV home screen". Seems like you are deeply disturbed by the idea that anyone might have a negative opinion of an infamously deceptive propaganda network. Honestly though that's really more a you problem than anything else. You should probably take a break, step away from the computer and take a walk outside. It's safe - regardless of what you might see in your bubble I promise there aren't actually mobs of evil scary immigrants out to attack you. | |
| ▲ | asveikau 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You mean the comments that came in after the one you replied to here? The commenter asked a question and it was answered. I don't think your hostile reply was needed. | |
