Puck’s Dylan Byers believes California AG Rob Bonta has a weak case for blocking the $111 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Byers says the suit relies on an “archaic” definition of the media market focused on theatrical and cable distribution, rather than the digital platforms actually dominating attention: “David...

Paramount is engaged in a battle with Netflix to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount’s most recent bid was rejected in part over financing. On Monday, Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount CEO David Ellison, personally guaranteed $40 billion in an effort to revive that bid. But Netflix’s proposed $83 billion offer is still considered the favorite for now. Talk of this deal has triggered widespread fears in Hollywood about what it could mean for the creative industry. Our senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown gets some perspective from one of the leading unions.

Javier Bardem reacts to the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger freeze, saying that consolidating Hollywood to "two or three big studios" could worsen job losses in Los Angeles and New York. "I may be wrong, I may be right, but the only thing I want to support is the jobs — and the quality of the jobs." Bardem, along with over 1,400 other Hollywood creatives, signed an open letter opposing the $110 billion merger of Paramount Skydance with Warner Bros. Discovery.

This could be one of the biggest wins in recent history. The New York Post says disgraced Susan Rice "cost Netflix on home stretch of Warner Bros. Discovery deal." Netflix lost a deal that would have given the Obama's unchecked control over what our children watch. Trump donor and Paramount owner Larry Ellison swept in and took over Warner Bros. Never forget: Susan Rice demanded all Trump supporters be thrown in "reeducation camps." Psycho.

This weekend several parties are gearing up to bid on Warner Brothers Discovery in a heated auction. This comes a full quarter century since I advised Aol in their $183 billion merger with Time Warner in the largest deal in history in 2000, a deal way ahead of its time and massively financially lopsided (in my client’s favor). Who will win the bidding for Warner Bros. – Comcast, Netflix, Skydance Paramount or a dark horse candidate? My bet is on Paramount because Comcast’s Brian Roberts is economically rational and Netflix doesn’t need it. Plus, Skydance’s David Ellison has both his dad’s cash and connections (Saudi money?) and the right political connections (Trump) to get the deal greenlit. Whoever wins the auction, one thing’s certain: the real winner is David Zaslav who bet big on a high-risk leveraged play when he convinced AT&T to merge Warner Bros. with Discovery in deal at one point had $48 billion of debt – a deal that panned out after all at a time when legacy media is in decline. Very Disco!

Jim Acosta: Here is the breaking news. The news is broken. We may not be able to put the pieces back together again if the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger goes through and puts my former employer, CNN, under the control of the Ellison family. Trump has cracked the code on how to hurt the press in America. The news does not belong to the oligarchs. It belongs to us.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta tells Scott MacFarlane the proposed merger between Paramount Global and Warner Bros. is under active investigation—and “not a done deal.” Bonta says there are “red flags everywhere,” including concerns about higher prices for consumers, lower wages for workers, and reduced competition across streaming and theatrical markets. The state has not yet decided whether to sue—but says it’s still on the table.

Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly signed an agreement Friday on a $110 billion deal, a merger that will make Paramount one of the largest media empires in the world. It happened after a dramatic turn of events and after Netflix walked away from its proposal to buy out Warner Bros. Paramount could now control two key movie studios, multiple streaming platforms, major intellectual property brands, along with television and cable channels, and two of the biggest news operations on television, CBS and CNN. But this isn't a done deal yet, as it is now under investigation and awaiting regulatory approval. Geoff Bennett sat down with Roben Farzad, host of public radio's "Full Disclosure," for more.

The left wing elite are in full panic mode now that Paramount is buying Warner Bros Discover, and with that merger Trump ally Larry Ellison (and his son David) will control the combined media giant. Under the new ownership of Paramount, CBS News and CNN won't be fully controlled by the radical left. The far left wing "reporters" are CNN are in a full blown panic that they will no longer be able to promote their far left agenda. The Democrats were counting on their Obama allies at Netflix to purchase Warner Bros (and CNN). However the Ellison family outbid Netflix with $110 billion. Radical left wing senators like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are trying to claim "national security concerns" to block the merger. In reality, they are terrified at the thought of the left losing their control on the media narrative.

NEW: Netflix Board Member Susan Rice Susan Rice is calling for investigations into CBS-owned Paramount, the company competing with Netflix for the Warner Bros. merger: “But some of the stuff that seems to be going on at CBS is dubious at best, and so I do think that there ought to be inquiries, but no replication of what Trump has done, which is essentially wielded the authority of the FCC and crony capitalism to benefit his ideological allies in the media and disadvantage the American people." Clearly, Rice and Team Obama still love embracing lawfare and weaponized government against their political and business opponents.

Javier Bardem in #Cannes: "I believe there is an increasing monopoly in the world of information, given Paramount and Warner Bros. and their merger for example." "Who is actually going to patrol all of this, what we’re listening and what we’re seeing?... [technology and social media] indeed have a large impact on the young generation and that concerns me to no end, because we have to ensure that the younger generation continues to think, to apply reason ... In Spain we’re suffering from this very phenomenon, at present there is no democracy in the media, that’s my firm belief. I think this is a very dangerous situation. So basically, what solution can there be? I don’t know, personally. That’s just my viewpoint. I think we need to denounce the situation, talk about it, and I certainly don’t support the situation underway."

Bonta: We identified three markets where they’re violating the law and the judge was persuaded by all of our arguments. So she’s issued an order blocking the merger. It’s very clear that Paramount and Warner Bros. can take no steps toward consummating the merger. She also set a briefing schedule for a hearing on a preliminary injunction. If we obtain that injunction at the hearing, which will be held in two weeks, it will block the merger throughout the pendency of the litigation.

Adding further intrigue, Michelle Obama appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, where she criticized President Trump. As previously reported, Kimmel is highly favored by the left to the extent that Disney reportedly threatened to pull Monday Night Football from any ABC station that did not reinstate him. Thus, Michelle Obama is conducting a media tour through familiar outlets that previously promoted Barack Hussein Obama's presidential campaign. The Obamas appear to be strategically plotting their media appearances. One point is certain, however: the Obamas should not be granted greater control over America's streaming services. As Senator Tim Scott recently stated in a letter, approval of the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger would essentially create a streaming monopoly for Netflix, and by extension, the Obamas. This cannot be permitted to happen. The Trump administration must kill the Netflix merger with Warner Bros., Discovery!

On Friday, Netflix said it is buying Warner Bros. in a deal valued at $82.7 billion. The president said because of the “very big market share,” there “could be a problem” in executing a potential merger.

The Ellisons are now the most powerful family in the world. Paramount just acquired Warner Bros Discovery for $111 billion. Everyone's covering the Hollywood drama. The bidding war. The streaming wars... But what actually happened goes MUCH deeper: One family now controls CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, TikTok, and the cloud infrastructure that runs the US government. In less than 12 months. The Ellison family isn't a media company. They're a data company that just bought media as a front end. Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle. Worth $245 billion. Third richest person alive. Oracle runs the digital backbone of the US government. Department of Defense. Department of Energy. Air Force classified networks. They signed a $300 BILLION deal with OpenAI to build AI data centers. Their contracted future revenue jumped 438% to $523 billion. Oracle is quietly becoming the infrastructure layer for American AI. So why would the guy running all of that suddenly want to own CNN, HBO, and TikTok? Because AI needs data. Not server data. BEHAVIORAL data. What people watch. When they pause. What makes them click, scroll, and binge. Streaming platforms generate the most intimate behavioral data on Earth. TikTok is even worse. It knows what grabs your attention before you do (and guess who owns TikTok in the US?) Oracle's AI push creates a thirst for insight into how people consume content and what they buy. Streaming and social media deliver that at a scale nothing else can. This deal was never just about content. The financial engineering is insane: $47 billion in equity from the Ellison family. $57.5 billion in debt from Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo. A mix of investment-grade AND junk bonds, which is basically unheard of. Both Paramount and Warner Bros are losing hundreds of millions per quarter. Linear TV is dying. And they're duct-taping two sinking ships together with $57.5 billion in borrowed money. The political angle makes this even more interesting: David Ellison attended Trump's State of the Union two days before the deal closed. Larry Ellison sat next to Rupert Murdoch in the Oval Office with Trump. Trump endorsed them on camera: "Larry Ellison is great and his son David is great. They're friends of mine." The DOJ opened antitrust scrutiny on Netflix's bid. Not Paramount's. Paramount's press release said they have "confidence in the speed and certainty of regulatory approval." A company that's never done a deal this size is publicly guaranteeing regulatory clearance. And Netflix saw all of this. Sarandos flew to DC, met with AG Pam Bondi, and within hours walked away. Called it "no longer financially attractive." Corporate speak for "we can't compete with political access." In 12 months, one family now controls: - Oracle's government cloud - TikTok US - Paramount - CBS News - And now Warner Bros, HBO, CNN, and every cable channel from MTV to Cartoon Network The funny part is that Netflix stock jumped 10% when they quit. Wall Street is telling you Netflix dodged a bullet. Because here's what the market already figured out: The combined company will be CRUSHED under debt. Both studios are bleeding. And David Ellison, who has never run a profitable media company, is now in charge of the whole thing. The smart bet is this collapses within 3-5 years. And when it does, Netflix will be waiting with $2.8 billion in breakup fees already collected, ready to scoop up the pieces at a discount. But collapse or not, the Ellisons will already have what they came for... Years of behavioral data from hundreds of millions of users across streaming, social media, and news. Fed directly into Oracle's AI infrastructure. While everyone debates whether Batman and Harry Potter will be on the same app, the real play already happened. The guy who runs the government's cloud just bought the screen people stare at for 6 hours a day. The Ellisons are on a generational run.

Netflix just KILLED Hollywood... By pulling off the most INSANE power move of 2025. $82.7 billion for Warner Bros, HBO, and HBO Max. The streaming wars are officially over. But nobody understands what actually just happened... For YEARS, Ted Sarandos said: "We're builders, not buyers. We don't need a library." Then three weeks ago he pulled a complete 180. And the bidding war was brutal. Paramount thought they had it locked. David Ellison's dad is Larry Ellison, Oracle founder, one of the richest men alive. Paramount made THREE bids in September. All rejected. Too low. But Ellison kept pushing. He wanted the ENTIRE company including CNN, Discovery Channel, all the cable networks nobody else wanted. His pitch was simple: "We have White House relationships. Regulatory approval will be easy." For weeks, everyone thought Paramount would win. Then Netflix entered the chat... $27.75 per share. Mix of cash and stock. $82.7 billion total. Paramount countered with $30 per share, all cash, backed by three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds. Higher bid. More cash. Should've won. But Netflix included something nobody saw coming: A $5.8 BILLION breakup fee. If Netflix walks away from this deal, they pay Warner Bros $5.8B. Nobody puts up breakup fees that big. Ever. It's Netflix saying "we're so confident we can fight regulators and win, we'll bet $5.8B on it." Paramount lost their minds. Thursday morning, Paramount's lawyers sent a 4,000-word letter to Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav. The letter accused Warner Bros of rigging the process. Said Zaslav had "personal interests in post-transaction roles." Translation: Zaslav wants a job at Netflix after the deal closes, so he's giving them preferential treatment. They're literally calling it corruption. But Netflix just sat on that $5.8B breakup fee and waited. In the end, Warner Bros picked Netflix. And here's the thing... This isn't about streaming. It's about OWNING the IP before AI makes production costs zero. Warner Bros owns: - Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman (entire DC Universe) - Harry Potter (full franchise rights) - Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Wire - Friends, The Big Bang Theory When AI video generation hits in 2-3 years, Netflix bets on "whoever owns the IP wins." They hope to generate infinite Batman movies and Harry Potter spinoffs using AI at near-zero marginal cost. The genius move though: Paramount wanted ALL of Warner Bros Discovery. Including dying cable networks (CNN, TNT, TBS). Netflix said: "We only want the studio and streaming." They're letting Warner Bros spin off the garbage cable channels. Then buying ONLY the profitable parts. Buy the assets. Leave the liabilities. This deal "kills three birds with one stone" according to Bank of America: Bird #1: Warner Bros Discovery ceases to exist as a competitor Bird #2: HBO Max (#3 streaming platform) merges with Netflix (#1) Bird #3: Every other studio is now officially screwed Netflix now has: - World's largest subscriber base (260M+) - Second-largest content library - The IP for infinite AI content - HBO's prestige brand - Warner Bros' theatrical distribution Game over. Anonymous Hollywood producers literally sent letters to Congress BEGGING them to block the deal. They didn't even sign their names. Too scared of Netflix retaliation. Senator Warren called it an "anti-monopoly nightmare." But none of it will matter. Deal's getting approved. What happens next? 2026: Discovery Global spins off (cable networks) 2026: Netflix acquisition closes 2027: HBO integration begins 2028: AI video generation launches 2029: AI-generated Batman and Harry Potter content By 2030, Netflix IS Hollywood. My take? Thid is smart SHORT TERM. Destroys competition. Locks in IP. But LONG TERM? When AI video hits, content libraries won't matter. Speed of generation will. Netflix just spent $82.7B on the past instead of the future. The next 3 years will tell us which one it is.
