[edit] Why the breakup, you ask?

It's simple. Time Warner is very poorly ran at this point, and it is far too big. So, a breakup would be in order. Most of the entertainment assets would go to Warner Communications, the non-DC publishing assets would go to Time Inc, and the cable and non-video game software assets would go to TW Cablesystems (the "TW" is used because "Time Warner" would be obsolete by this point).
