"ESPN is looking at multiple strategic options for FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver's data-analysis site that it bought in 2013, including selling it outright, The Big Lead says."

Responses:

What would be the motivation to selling it, assuming the data is useful? -- nm - Max Jan 25, 13:18 4
- Disney wants ESPN out of politics. My guess is that they fold 538 into ABC News. -- nm - David Jan 25, 13:22 3
  - So the headline is that Disney is looking to sell part of itself to itself? -- nm - Max Jan 25, 13:30 1
    - No, the headline is that Disney will listen to bids from other places like The Atlantic. - David Jan 25, 13:33
  - That would make a lot more sense. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 13:27
