Rupert Murdoch
However  much of the opposition to the takeover has focused on  Rupert Murdoch  and  his  growing control of the UK’s media   his  “suitability” to run a news broadcaster  and the potential for  him  to move Sky in a politically right-wing direction.

Mathew Horsman  a media consultant and author of Sky High: The Rise and Rise of BSkyB  also said one of the biggest issues with the deal was the idea of monopolies and  Mr. Murdoch  having too much influence in the UK media.
“It was always the Murdoch-element and the issue of the Murdoch family trust having controlling influence over the newspapers. That wouldn’t be an issue with Disney ”  he  said.
However  for left wing and liberal critics of the takeover   Mr. Murdoch’s  perceived right-wing views and accusations of mismanagement at  Fox  are the problem – which could also be reduced with Disney in charge.
Labour Deputy Leader and longtime  Murdoch  critic Tom Watson commented: “It’s important for Disney  a highly respected global media brand  that they do not allow the toxic corporate culture we have seen in the  Murdoch  empire to contaminate their business and tarnish their reputation.”
