    Being National Geographic, it’s also controlled by Rupert Murdoch, so when are we gonna learn to stop putting money in the coffers of villains? Or is it convenient to use their infrastructure?

      Fox co-owns the TV channel.  The rest of NGS is solely controlled by NGS, which is a non-profit.
