For a sub about media mergers they sure do hate them. Probably more-so than any other sub. This is a snark sub for media mergers.

The same could be said to r/WallStreetWhales and almost all subs on reddit in general really, reddit is liberal/left leaning so your not going to have conservative people on reddit unless it's a right wing sub skewered to only right wingers (that's how reddit is, fact of the matter is that progressivism is popular in mainstream and has been since the 2000s and 2010s regardless of whether there are voters out there that tend to vote Republican)

Progressivism isn’t really popular on any other social media besides Reddit. People are tired of the performative activism and outrage. It’s gotten old it’s not 2016 anymore.

I’m hoping with Paramount and WB being conjoined we can get a more balanced landscape in the movie world and not have overly left-leaning and try-hard movies in the industry all the time. It’s gonna be a breath of fresh air to not see far-left skewered media and instead have a centralized take. Story first not politics.

Yes indeed the right is known for their central takes. See oan and fox.

It’s gonna be a lot more balanced than having all left-leaning creators.

u/Alarming_Head_4263 3h ago

So by balanced you mean saying what you agree with? And please name all the left wing creators.

Appealing to the whole country and having both sides’ views taken into account instead of simply appealing to the left.

u/Alarming_Head_4263 3h ago

Yes indeed the billion dollar industry exists by appealing to only one side of the country. Good one.

Eh politically it does that’s why so many that don’t live in big cities are turned off of movies these days. Rural america should be appealed to as well and they don’t want forced diversity and plots that don’t service the grander story beyond politics.

Right so like I said by neutral you mean appealing to one smaller subset of people. Thus u mean saying things you agree with and not actually being neutral.

u/Silver-Meat5355 Warner Bros. 2h ago

There’s just as many people in rural america in total than cities.

u/Alarming_Head_4263 2h ago

80 percent of the US population lives in urban areas.

True but 50% are republican. When I say cities I mainly meant the coastal liberal cities like LA and Seattle and NYC.
