Too much influence over politicians..So basically when policy is decided through the influence of press barons it's us.

Why not? They are American and don't sell newspapers in the UK and Murdoch doesn't own them.

Look at the quality of ABC News (Disney) or NBC/CNBC/MSNBC (Comcast) to see the likely future...

And American companies don't have any influence over American Senators or Congressmen.

Why should they act any different here?

Just a belated reply to this:

The price is to the British broadcasting system as we knew it, which, while it had its faults, was still the best in the world. And by whom, is us. By having a weakened domestic broadcasting landscape has weakened our culture, in exchange for Murdoch's choice of hundreds of channels.

Comcast confirmed today it has bought Murdoch's stake in Sky to give it control of the company:

Sky ceases to be a company today as it gets de-listed from the London Stock Exchange, completing Comcast's takeover of it.

The EC has approved the Disney/Fox deal but Disney will have to give up its 50% stake in A&E Networks in the EEA. As the UK is still in this area at the moment, this includes us too. THe channels affected are History, H2, Crime & Investigation, Lifetime and Blaze.

Clearly Comcast will stick with the Sky name and current team in Europe and look to push into new countries within Europe.
