Microsoft already has strong media ties to GE and NBC [hence MSNBC]. The only potential mix would be with MySpace. It would give MSFT a good portal but doesn't have the same revenue stream that someone like Yahoo has. FI only made about $10M Profit last year on $500M Revenue. It might grow but so are its competitors and there are only so many people willing to post up their lives on the web.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
