Owned by News Corporation - Rupert Murdoch

People.com - celebrity news, photos in particular - The 'Star Tracks' section is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Owned by Time Warner

CNN.com for news and sports.
Turner Broadcasting/Time Warner

Rotten Tomatoes.com for movie reviews
Owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation

Comcast Cable
Owned by Comcast

and other means of publicity, propaganda and communication’.
