It's "20th Century Studios" from now on...

Probably a smart move for a company that embraces liberalism and diversity.

The studio was originally "Twentieth Century Pictures" before merging with Fox, so it is sort of appropriate to switch around the name.

They ought to just buy Fox News and make it their own entertainment news company. That would be one of the best ways they could serve the world.
