It's worth remembering that Time Warner is much smaller than it used to be – it has sold off or spun off AOL, Warner Music, Warner Books, TWC, and even Time Inc. in the past few yesrs.<p>Even then, the size and scope of a combined Fox / Time Warner in the movie/TV market alone would be ludicrous. Even if Fox sold off CNN as they're proposing, they'd own two of the six major movie studios, the Fox broadcast network, HBO, many of the top-rated cable channels (Fox News, FX, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network / Adult Swim), and plenty of other stuff, and that's just in the U.S.<p>And of course, Murdoch also still controls the nominally-separate (newspapers-only) "new" News Corp, which is said to be stalking the Tribune group (Chicago Tribune, LA Times, etc.): <a href="http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/business-news/the-biz-blog/257613/news-corp-rumored-to-be-putting-together-a-new-bid-for-tribune-newspapers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/business-news/the-biz-blo...</a>
