"LIBERTY" MEDIA / "NEWS" CORP
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA GEE THANKS GOD FOR MAKING LIFE SO GODDAMN FUNNY WHAT A FUCKIN' JOKSTER
Smart people know what the words 'liberty' and 'news' mean. Successful people are ASSHOLES.
The Discovery Channel is owned by John Malone, the conservative mogul who owns Liberty Media, one of the largest media corporations on the planet. Malone is famous for his complex business deals that involve spinning off media properties with stock offerings that net him millions. He also has just gotten approval to swap his extensive stock holdings in News Corp., Rupert Murdoch's empire, for control of Murdoch's DirecTV satellite television system. When Discovery told Gibney they would not be airing Taxi to the Dark Side, Malone and Murdoch were awaiting approval for the DirecTV deal from the Bush administration's Federal Communications Commission. (It was approved on Monday, the day after the Oscars.)
HBO managed to buy the television rights to Taxi to the Dark Side so the film will find its way to those households that subscribe to premium TV channels. As Discovery wrote to a critical member of the public, "In its first pay-TV window, HBO will debut the film in September 2008. We are proud that Taxi to the Dark Side will make its basic cable debut in 2009 on Investigation Discovery." So Discovery will show Taxi on one of its smaller side channels, after the election, after its business with the Bush administration is wrapped up.
