No, I think they all have different devisions of the one giant company.

Its like Columbia Records (SONY Music) trying to sue Sony INC for promoting piracy by selling audio CDR\'s. I think.

Yes Racer, you are right.

You are both saying the same thing.

Rupert Murdoch owns both companies. ALong with speed channel, fox sports net, etc. etc. etc......

I know that, but in order for a company to sue a company, wouldnt the owner or whatever have to approve? I know they didnt sue, or even file, but they thought about it.

Now Fox has a new rule that we can\'t do those little fake news crawls on the bottom of the screen in a cartoon because it might confuse the viewers into thinking it\'s real news," he said.
