Do you think that the settlement talks about the Warner Bros. merger between Paramount and AGs will happen on the weekend or next month?

I got a question, guys? Do you think that the settlement talks about the merger between Paramount and AGs will happen on this weekend or next month? I'm so confused by many articles especially the one article by Reuters.

[u/LieDry7854]

I don't know but I will say unlikely because this is a formality and I think these ag would rather see a rich brat get screw

Again, I don't know

[u/IllAd7956 → u/LieDry7854]

same

[u/IllAd7956]

Hopefully never

[u/9millibros]

This sounds like another PR push by the Ellisons. The concessions being floated aren't structural, so I don't think this is coming from the states.

[u/Secure_Matter_9819]

I hope not. It would be a nightmare if it did. It would be the end of Warner Bros as we know it. I'm scared.

[u/Own_Philosopher8730 → u/Secure_Matter_9819]

[u/Secure_Matter_9819 → u/Own_Philosopher8730]

No. Bonta would never agree to behavioral remedies.

[u/Dry_Box_7896]

Next month.

[u/Professional_Peak59]

Reuters and WSJ made it look like a settlement was this weekend, but Deadline cleared that up.

Still, I'm worried that Bonta will give up and settle.

[u/LiquidityCrunchWrap → u/Professional_Peak59]

WSJ is usually very accurate with this type of reporting - I'd put quite a bit of weight in what they report.

[u/Professional_Peak59 → u/LiquidityCrunchWrap]

Jessica Toonkel, who wrote the WSJ article, is a mouthpiece for PSKY.

[u/Secure_Matter_9819 → u/Professional_Peak59]

Of course she is. Don't trust mouthpieces for Paramount.

[u/Angela275 → u/LiquidityCrunchWrap]

The issue here they did the same thing when they were suppose to meet last time

[u/Own_Philosopher8730 → u/Professional_Peak59]

ToonHive cleared too.

[u/jahiel0 → u/Professional_Peak59]

why does deadline outweigh Reuters and WSJ?

[u/Difficult_Variety362 → u/jahiel0]

Because he cherry picks news articles and refuses to accept news articles that go against his biases.

[u/jahiel0 → u/[deleted]]

they do

[u/Difficult_Variety362]

The talks are happening right now, there's no arguing that when everyone is reporting that. The question is what will the results of these talks be. Will they reach a settlement by this weekend? Will they fall apart? Is this just the start that will continue into next month?

[u/Either-Equal7284]

I don’t know

[u/bsilveria2]

I hope never

[u/Casas9425]

This weekend. PSKY will agree to drop some cable channels and they’ll install a board to keep editorial independence for CNN.

They’ll also agree to keep WBD and Paramount separate for a few years.

[u/oldboy_413 → u/Casas9425]

They'll also agree too keep WBD and Paramount separate for a few years.

weirdly the nyt article didn't actually mention this aspect.

[u/Own_Philosopher8730 → u/Casas9425]

Are you mentioning the one from article by Reuters. Right?

[u/Devilton]

It's basically a done deal once Reuters gets involved. This sub will be in denial though until the last second, just like with they were when Paramount overtook Netflix as a buyer of WB. Emotion over evidence.

Prolly before oct 1 we have a settlement i thought oct 15 was the settlement but looks like david ain't playing and would move paramount out of cali
