- ceejayoz 5y agoVerify the claim first. (It's not true.)
- willvarfar 5y agoRupert Murdoch owns 21st Century Fox, which brought the magazine in 2015 for $725M.
- ceejayoz 5y agoDisney bought 21st Century Fox from Murdoch two years later. His ownership was very brief. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_21st_Century_Fox_by_Disney https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_21st_Century_Fo... No need to cancel a subscription over old news.
- willvarfar 5y agoSo the money raised by the sale of magazines now goes to research and exploration again?

- acheron 5y agoIf you're boycotting something based on false rumors you read on an Internet forum, I'm not sure how you buy anything. Hey, I heard that Kim Jong-un bought out all the world's watermelon farms, so every time you buy a watermelon you're contributing to the oppression of North Koreans!

- LightG 5y agoThat's a lot of words to say: "the OP is incorrect". But I appreciate your concern. And, so there is some factual outcome or use to this thread, I'd like to add that I'm looking forward to Murdoch rotting in actual, or metaphorical, hell. You're welcome.
