Does Fox own National Geographic?

National Geographic has been a inspiration for many land loving photographers with inclination for adventure.  

Fox I can't stand.  Poor management if you ask me.

Did I get the right impression?    press.nationalgeographic.com/2015/09/09/...-expand-partnership/

According to news releases, NG will operate the same as before with no changes due to the change in ownership. Too many people are fretting needlessly. That said, NG has been going downhill rapidly over the last several years, much as most if not all periodicals. I remember when they had no advertisements, now the magazine is chock full of them...

..and you actually believe Gannet or NBC, etc would let an acquisition continue LOSING money? It seems the "ship" needs rocking, no?

Why so serious?

Even though the below image is dated due to newer acquisitions/mergers. It does give you an idea of how much control there is of real information. It is the same across all industries in this modern era. This is why they are pushing things such as TTP, and the TTIP which most people do not even know is on the table. I have never had a problem with free trade, but consolidation of power in the name of free trade is not good for the common people.
