Something like that.
In the split of News Corp, it's telling that @wsj goes in the news and information company, and Fox News goes into entertainment.

Telling? Uh, yeah, it’s telling that Fox News, a television asset, will fall on the television side of the split.
Predictably, “Faux News” haters took the opportunity to bash News Corp for, uh, existing.
#newscorp can turn into santa claus they can still suck it I'll boycott their products every chance I get it.

Newscorp to split up. It can do more damage that way.

How do you divide one sort of bullshit from the other? #newscorp

It's official. #NewsCorp to split into two companies. But don't worry, I'm sure they'll be "Fair" & "Balanced." #RW shill is safe.
