Funny I never thought about Google buying a media company. But I disagree with Cringly on one point. Buying Time Warner actually would, in some ways, be a better deal for Google then buying the media arm (AOL). The upside in buying Time Warner is that Google would get control of the cable pipes of the second largest cable company in the US (and the 3rd largest ISP). That's a lot of bandwidth to peoples homes the could get control of. It would give them a ton of leverage in the Net Neutrality argument. As well as tie nicely into their existing plans with YouTube and Google TV. I haven't looked into the AOL/Time Warner financials but if I had to guess TW is also the more profitable arm.
