Disney Board Turns Down Comcast Takeover Bid

Posted by timothy on from the but-no-thanks dept.

scifience writes "Disney's board of directors today turned down Comcast's hostile takeover bid, reports MSNBC. The board expressed confidence in Eisner's leadership. One interesting quote released by the board is that they will, '...carefully consider any legitimate proposal...' Does this mean that they did not believe Comcast's offer to be legitimate?"

    Disney and Comcast? Takeovers? I don't see how this is remotely news for nerds.

    If it were Pixar taking over Disney, that would be OK. Or if Eisnerwere moving to Intel, OK.... but no...

    Stay on topic people.
