You are just stupid. WB hasn’t made money in years and they have 33 billion dollars of debt. Are you paying this debt off? Of course you aren’t. WB will be sold off in pieces without this merger. Paramount threw WB a lifeline line. Wake up you dumbass.

The Paramount-Warner merger is illegal. The 2nd and 5th biggest studios combining. 200M subscribers. Prices will go through the roof. But free speech will die too. Because the owners have cut a deal with Trump to silence his critics. State AGs need to step in and block it. Now.

The DOJ just gave approval to Paramount — owned by the billionaire Trump allies Larry and David Ellison — to buy Warner Bros Discovery. Trump is advancing his scheme to control the media in broad daylight. State AGs must step in and block this deal.

Bradley Whitford: “12 AGs have sued to block the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Who wants to hand billionaires more power and wealth when we already have sky high inflation and an incoherent autocrat in the White House? The oligarchs pushing this $100B deal think they’re above the law. We support the 12 AGs’ lawsuit to block the merger. No private promises, no settlements, no concessions”

There are 4 key TV archives in the US: ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. This is the footage filmmakers use to tell our history. If Paramount buys WBD, two of those archives (including 45 years of CNN footage) will be under the editorial control of 1 company and likely 1 person, Bari Weiss.

Paramount Skydance got its pass from the Trump administration on Warner Brothers. The antitrust case is weak. Two progressive AGs, Tish James in New York and Rob Bonta in California, are poised to sue. Enough big states where commerce is domiciled, and a federal judge can issue a restraining order that could slow the process of closing the deal. They don't need to win. They just need to delay it. My take on the latest Risk & Return with Bob Sloan Links to full episode in next post. $PSKY $WBD
