Comcast announced this morning that it’s halting its efforts to acquire the film and television assets of 21st Century Fox.

Disney made a deal to acquire those assets last year, but after a district court judge approved the merger of AT&T and Time Warner (despite the antitrust-related objections of President Trump’s Department of Justice), Comcast announced another, higher bid.
