The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division has signed off on Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, according to two people familiar. The approval clears a major regulatory hurdle for a deal that has become one of the most closely watched media merger reviews of the Trump era.
Paramount has bowed to Trump, fired Colbert, paid a $36M bribe, and Trump bought stock in one of the companies before any of this was public.
We should demand that these corrupt executives be prosecuted; their networks’ licences should be pulled; and fined out of existence. Warner, Paramount, HBO, and CBS should cease to exist and all their IP should become public domain.
And despite widespread condemnation, now yet another billionaire is in charge of even more of the global narrative.
Has any merger been rejected in recent decades?
first one that comes to mind is at&t’s failed attempt to buy tmobile about 15 years ago.
We don’t exactly do monopolies around here.

Weeelllp, time to binge all the shows I want on HBO and cancel.

Good grief. 12 companies own like 99% of everything.
