Fox shareholders on Friday approved the sale of its entertainment assets to Disney for $71.3 billion, reported Bloomberg. Both companies' investors reportedly approved in separate votes at the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan.

Fox agreed to Disney's bid earlier in June and rejected Comcast's $65 million cash offer. 21st Century Fox is home to popular franchises such as X-Men, Deadpool, The Simpsons, Ice Age and Planet of the Apes. Disney could benefit from Fox's entertainment portfolio.

Comcast dropped out of the bidding war for Fox last week and moved on to UK broadcaster Sky.

    So, the Jews did what they always do: Infiltrated and took over his organization.

    Having done that, they said to themselves "No what?"
