Comcast Corp. Wednesday launched a hostile all-stock bid to buy Walt Disney Co. for about $54.1-billion (U.S.) in stock, touting the proposal as a chance to create a �unique� world-leading entertainment and communications company with an unparalleled distribution platform.
..
The proposal -- which would see Philadelphia-based Comcast exchange 0.78 of a Comcast class A share for each Disney share -- comes just days after Disney's top executive rebuffed suggestions to that the two enter merger talks.

�It is unfortunate that you are not willing� to enter discussions, Comcast president and chief executive Brian Roberts said in a letter dated Feb. 11 to Disney CEO Michael Eisner.

BULLSHIT!

on edit - sorry, it's early. good articulation don't happen before 2 cups tea.

1. Kerry will probably ignore it

We just had a huge merger with Rupert buying Direct TV, and it wsn;t a campaign issue.

We're seeing health insurers and banks undergoing huge mergers and nary a peep has been heard.

Aside from Kucinich and Dean, the biggest economic and social issue of our time -- consolidation of the economy into huge corporations -- has been a non-issue.
