I bet he would've been fine if Netflix had won that battle.

These judges continue to be out-of-control.

I agree….the merger would have opened the door to the control of media.

Merger merger merger. We are headed to a world with two entertainment choices - Disney or Netflix. No Thanks.

Why should I care?

quote:

Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington (12 states total).

quote:

A coalition of these 12 states, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta (with New York AG Letitia James also prominent), filed an antitrust lawsuit on July 13, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

The suit seeks to block Paramount Skydance’s ~$110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, alleging it violates Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act by substantially lessening competition in theatrical film distribution and basic cable television licensing.

The blue states real reason to prevent the merger is an attempt to keep those separate studios from laying off employees currently producing entertainment filled with woke trash.

A merger will consolidate separate departments into new and streamlined departments and functions.

The merger will reduce the number of woke produced profit killing programs back to more mainstream entertainment.

This is a very strange thing to say in a thread about a merger that doesn't involve Disney or Netflix.

Libs hate Paramount because its CEO is David Ellison who is “MAGA friendly”. They’re afraid for CNN.

It would mean the end of the leftist monopoly on the media.

Including the news.

if I heard right, Paramount said they are moving out of CA if this doesn't go thru.
