How many dirt does WB has that is scaring the cult this hard?

>Paramount’s response, as of earlier this week, was to say anyone against this acquisition had “antisemitic views.”
It's interesting how when you accuse big corpo elites of unfair business practices they often accuse you of hating jews. Gets the noggin joggin.

>>154098239
Can’t believe I’m siding with California on something, but broken clocks.

Just fucking buy them already and get it over with.

This is bad for cartoonfags everywhere, I don't want it either. The EU wants them to sell their animation IPs, which they have said they are willing to do. Fuck the Ellisons, I don't want Nickelodeon split up and sold in pieces so they can get their hands on irrelevant live action film IPs. This media garage sale will be terrible for these properties most likely, I think other networks will modern audience even harder with these IPs and ruin characters entirely.

>>154098895
Maybe I'm retarded but I still believe a gaggle of these shows' original creators could crowdsource enough money to buy back their creations and make something of a miniature spiritual successor brand with them. Seriously just think of the sort of power Johnen, Atoms, and Warburton could build up by campaigning for something like that. AFAIK the only people who've tried as much are the Megas crew, and we still dont know if the effort was a success. RoosterTeeth is the only real precedent we have.

>>154098239
Good. The merger shouldn't be allowed. It's pretty bad for the entire industry if they do merge. For cartoons it would be them, disney, and maybe youtube. You go from 5 film studios to 4, but really sony doesn't make much so it would be more like 2-3 with them, Disney, and maybe MGM/Amazon

>>154098763
They need approval first

>>154099448
I suppose so. Most of those are CN properties though, which I can only assume are considered not a problem.

Someone care to explain why this is a bigger issue than disney monopoly over media?

I hope it’s enough. I got money riding on this shit

I guess?

no, no, communism is definitely pro-monopolies; >>154100502 is one of them self-hating tankies

because the two satan worshipping ceos dont like each other

STFU retard

Since Skydance is basically doing this to get control of CNN so they won't talk mean about Grandpa Donny anymore, I could see them modifying the deal to leave out the WB studio and IPs to try to get this through.

Then Zaslav sells the WB portion to Sony or something.

>>154101643
Again if they just wanted CNN they would have just bought the cable channels after Netflix bought them, or just bought CNN independently.
They want a full media empire and control of all media platforms, which will fail since they cannot support 80 billion of debt on an AI bubble and be split up. They will keep CNN but cable is dead anyway so who will care about CNN in 2030? Only boomers watch that or Fox News and they will be dead

>>154101643
>basically doing this to get control of CNN
If Ellison really wanted this, he could have tried just buying CNN instead of the entire Warner empire. Even if they weren’t looking to sell CNN, I’m sure he could through a billion to convince them.
This is almost certainly an ego trip.

>>154098895
>This is bad for cartoonfags everywhere
Who gives a shit? Grow up, freak.

>>154098895
>The EU wants them to sell their animation IPs
that's not what the EU would be having them sell, the EU doesn't care about potential IP monopolies, their concern is about a monopoly on networks, they don't want Paramount owning both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network as TV networks, so Paramount might be required to spinoff one or the other into a separate company, in that scenario though Paramount would almost definitely hang onto the IP's of the network they get rid of*

*kind of like how when Disney acquired Fox they spun off most of Fox's TV networks(except the three FX channels) into the current Fox Corporation, but kept all of the IP's and most of the production studios that had been part of Fox

>>154101779
Here you go, champ.
>>154102049
That'd be a bit better at least.

>>154098239
but it's fine when disney does it

>>154100658
Disney only bought the studios, the news are independent

>>154101779
Tell that to yourself.

>>154101779
>said the 4chan user

maybe they should just let paramount have warner bros. Let's be honest, Paramount is doing more for animation than Warner Bros is

>>154102257
But then I’d be out $25

>>154099480
>It's pretty bad for the entire industry if they do merge.
I hope it happens then

The Netflix deal basically would have let Zazlov keep CNN and Discovery and only selling Netflix all things Warner, including IPs

The only way to get CNN was hostile takeover and having the investors tell Zazlov to eat a dick and force him to sell everything.

Zazlov could have, at any time, made a deal to say sell CNN for a buck to Paramount just to make Ellisons go away. But he refused to do so. Because he didn't want to lose CNN.

Adding to this, a lot of liberal Hollywood elite would prefer WB-Discovery stay independent and not be bought, since regardless of a partial sale or full sale, this will fuck up Hollywood even moreso than Disney buying Fox.

And Gavin Newsome knows he won't be able to bury his sins and crines as California's governor if CNN falls into the hands of the Ellisons and Weiss.

Stay out of our affairs if English isn't your first or second language

>>154100866
Is it a monopoly if everyone collectively owns everything? Is that even how it works?

What would be the absolute worst outcome for the Ellisons here? Is there someone worse that could happen than the deal just not going through?

>>154098895
Now that I think about it. Outside of DC, Harry Potter, what does WB have for a theater line-up that isn't just dredging up the corpses of beloved IPs?

What? They gonna fucking remake the classics lineup "for a modern audience"?

>>154106371
AI bubble pop. If the AI bubble pops too fast and too hard. We could see an honest to god "riches to rags" for Larry. We're talking about an amount of debt that can't possibly be bailed out

>>154103454
this might be the pandora box of the west coast.

>>154106401
Ah. Good point. Wonder what it would take for the AI bubble to pop.

>>154098800
Not anymore.
The people being imported into first world nations have very negative views of jews and the elites and the average normie doesn't trust them anymore after the gaza genocide and that concert bombing is widely believed to be a false flag.

I'm not sure that shit works on anyone anywhere anymore.

Lefties real mad Netflix couldn't buy Warner

>>154106570
True. Zios overplayed their hand and they know they’re going to need to scam some other country, since they have 10 years at most left in the US before their institutions crumble.

>>154106570
Its pretty funny how Israel has undone years of brainwashing by just giving up the charade they aren't evil.

>>154106589
They wouldn't be all that different situations. Mass consolidation, gobbling up the IP, and making gay lame shit relying on said IP while also shitting all over it
>but the Ellisons wouldn't be wok-
Newer South Park seasons were done by them, Starfleet Academy was approved by them, they said Jon Stewart and RuPaul are going to major pillars of the company going forward. The only thing that's different is CBS News not saying anything bad about Bibi.

>>154106279
imagine if you couldnt leave your baggage behind your previous job or cut ties because there are no employers not owned by the government, whose leaders are decided by social favors and connections instead of monetary currency

I keep seeing all these CNN conspiracy theories and I can't help but ask who the fuck watches CNN in 2026?A bunch of old lib boomers? Not exactly a prime demographic. Who gives a shit who owns it?

I mean, most of the woke stuff was funded by the Zios to get Americans to fight each other instead of them. Now many people part of that culture war on both sides realizes they were being exploited while a digital panopticon was built. In short, remove the Zios from power and the stuff you hate doesn’t get funded.

What is the biggest obstacle to this deal going through?

A news station is worth an entire carrier group in the 21st century war of ideas. Especially one as well-regarded as CNN (in the minds of the sheeple, anyways). You can literally, directly tell the masses what to think, and, perhaps as powerful, decline to publish stories which would undermine your message.
Why do you think Fox News was the only thing Disney couldn't get from the Fox buyout?

>>154098239
While I don't want Paramount and Warner merger but wouldn't Ellison can countersue California for allowing Disney Fox buyout?

>>154107302
They just want to control the narrative. Having a legacies news outlets would give it legitimacy any kind of bullshit propaganda depends of which political spectrum
