To bad the government is fully compromised.

The only way this gets blocked is to steer it toward the Ellisons instead. Reasonable people can disagree, but to me, that’s even worse.
I mean the alternative was paramount buys them…which is worse since the ellisons are pretty far right.
Such a cool timeline where the options are a consolidation merger that eliminates competition and creates an unfair advantage, destroying jobs, enriching the wealthy, or the same thing but with Larry Ellison who will obviously do it with a hard right wing slant (as opposed to the other option just quietly doing that)
Assuming that no merger is not an option, I guess?
Considering wb put the company up for sale, yes that seems unlikely.
I mean, I get it but the only people bidding on WBD was Skydance (Ellison). The options were Skydance, Disney, a vulture fund, or Netflix. That’s probably why Netflix even decided to bid. Nobody wanted WBD.
Consolidation should have never been allowed, but now that the beast that is Disney exists, there is very little argument that could succeed against the WBD purchase.
This will make them too big to fail. Everyone can RELAX now.
Relax. Don’t do it, when you wanna suck it to it:
Look at the writers guild of America pretending they don’t live in a fascist dictatorship where nothing matters but profits. How quaint.
The chances of this getting blocked under antitrust laws is roughly equivalent to me hitting oil in my back garden.
No, they totally know that. We all know that. And I agree that the chances of antitrust law being used for its stated purpose here is low. Do you think they shouldn’t have released this statement?
Why do you disdain people suffering under capitalism?
Antitrust. How quaint.
The worst part is that WB owns HBO which is probably one of few which didn’t transformed into shit. I wish they could buyout themselves
I myself am looking forward to the day when Buy n Large takes over every aspect of our lives.
Capitalism is like a long warm hug by an elephant. Eventually the elephant goes to sleep on you.
Remember kids: “we all support this system together”.
not if we stop bnl from doing so.
Wish granted, the Trump administration blocks the deal with Netflix only so that Larry Ellison can have it instead.
There’s really no win in this situation.

🤦
Who did they want to buy it?
Ideally, no one at all.
Does this mean Netflix own all the Warner music stuff too?
