While we’re not out of the woods yet, this is welcome news. This merger would force prices up, bring wages down, and lead to people losing jobs – all to bring TikTok, CNN, and CBS under one roof. Perhaps Paramount CEO David Ellison can't wine and dine his way through this one after all.

The Leverage Paramount Sold Wall Street Is the Leverage It Denies in Court Judge expected to rule by July 22. Here's the problem for Paramount: you cannot sell Wall Street on merger leverage over distributors and then tell a court that leverage does not exist. New from LightShed.

This is about not letting them get WB period because you can't underestimate evil oligarchs like that because you don't know how petty or spiteful they can get and given that they're doing Trump's bidding...That word alone doesn't need to be explained.

I wouldn't give Ellisons any chance of completing the merger because if you think about it if the merger fails after its completion,How may tax-write off they do? How much damage do they do to WB in favor of Paramount even if they do decide to sell it off? And much worse consequences than imagine.

investors allege that Trump helped ensure that Paramount won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery and removed regulatory barriers to the deal. Congress and future administrations, they say, will likely investigate the studio, creating significant long-term legal exposure, the lawsuit says.
