The opening as it read in 2005

He is also a strong supporter of the United States Democratic Party , and, during the era of soft money , was one of the largest donors to the party. Most other soft-money donors have dropped off the list following the ban on soft money (see campaign finance reform ), but Saban adapted to the new fundraising rules and is one of the top bundlers of legal campaign checks as well. Saban was at one point the CEO of Fox Family Worldwide and remains an influential individual in the Fox organization, although Fox Family Worldwide was eventually sold to Disney. Saban also worked on music for cartoons like Inspector Gadget , the Get Along Gang , Rainbow Brite , and the Real Ghostbusters As of August 2003 his Saban Capital Group (which is purely an investment company: it holds stakes in media owners but doesn't publish or broadcast anything itself) - through its subsidiary - acquired 36 percent of the share capital of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG . Since then, Saban is the chairman of the corporation. ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG is Germany's largest television corporation comprising four free TV stations and many smaller media sales, production, merchandising etc. companies. Since May 2005 he has been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post .1
