Wait, Obama’s Netflix secured the Warner Bros deal despite offering less than Paramount. Talk about DEI! Also, did Obama threaten Warner Bros to make sure he and his annoying “wife” could build a streaming empire to blast their woke garbage that no one will watch? Obama literally spied on Trump. Barack Hussein is capable of anything.

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 Ellison wants Warner Bros. Discovery to have some semblance of the scale that would be required to compete in a world that is dominated by Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, Apple, Amazon, the list goes on.” “The notion that somehow a combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery is going to be this massive, dominant business that is going to corner every aspect of the market...that’s just not real.” “I think Bonta has an uphill climb in that regard. But he can certainly create headaches, and certainly legal fees, for Ellison for many months.”
