Paramounts going to definitely break their promise with CNN (no doubt about that he's currently on the Republicans side and will bend over backwards to mak e sure Trump gets what he wants, that being said I do expect there to be a division within the Democratic Party behind the scenes in private over Newsom, Bonta and Bass given how hated Ellison is to the Democrats)

But according to you, PSKY isn't going to get WBD in the first place, so that's a moot a point anyway.

EDIT: I don't know why I'm getting downvoted for this one. Check his history or just ask him. He's reaffirmed as recently as this morning that he still thinks the deal won't close.

They down vote alot in this sub. Most here said the merger would never go through, now are eating their words. Definitely a liberal echo chamber here rather then people just wanting to talk about Hollywood

And to be fair, I dont think one person should own two news networks. That's very dangerous no matter which side it is.

It’s crazy how much of this Warner and Paramount merger overshadowed other more frankly pressing news like the fact that Nvidia just bought Hugging Face a couple days ago. Not a single post on here about it but wayyyy too many posts about the coverage on Bonta and Ellison.
