that would be the correct play here
At some point it may occur to the extremely wealthy people on Netflix’s side that the best way to save their deal is to make sure everyone in America knows how corrupt Trump and Ellison are. Their opponents paid off the referees! Make some noise about it!
this pretty much guarantees months and months of performative bullshit by Trump and Ellison and right wing media about how Netflix ownership would be a woke antitrust nightmare, but letting Larry and his nepobaby son dominate U.S. media would be a delightful, populist spritzer

it feels conspiratorial and hyperbolic to acknowledge it, but it really is true
It appears that the goal is one giant media company controlled by "Friends of the State."
Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

Funny that Netflix has said they have concerns about the financing of Paramount's offer all while it's been reported that the Saudi investment fund (PIF) has been experiencing tightening liquidity issues.

Recalling when the Saudis were going to buy Rolling Stone and there was such an uproar that it didn't happen. Kushner has given them cover while turning our info system into a weird episode of Batman using their money to try to control Gotham.

If the global authoritarian asshole coalition can acquire HBO/CNN/Warner after nabbing Paramount/CBS, I'd expect additional consolidation with ABC and NBC before too long, the big four have been lobbying Trump to kill the last dwindling bits of our media consolidation limits

expect a blitzkrieg over the next few months across right wing and establishment media about how Netflix is a woke antitrust nightmare (piggybacking on valid concerns about consolidation), and that letting Larry Ellison own the entirety of U.S. media will be good for everyone

Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

As a recovering middle school principal I can attest that Trump and his entire entourage would fit right in an unsupervised cafeteria. Hegseth? Vance? Noem? Bondi? Lutnick? And they'd all be bullying Stephen Miller. We are looking at an Arrested Development Cabinet.

Proof of mind deteriorating.
Trump's response is always the same: just replay the "greatest hits"

"Where's Hunter?"
"The Laptop from Hell"
"Lock her up!"
"Mexico will pay for the wall!"

TDS is real, but it is the cult members of MAGA that are the ones who have it.

Embarrassing disgrace to have a crazy ass top leader. If he was CEO or head of any company / organization , he would be ousted - morning after Jan 6th. Sadly Vance and Johnson not much improvement.

Stephen Miller does a very poor imitation of Trump -- way too much correct punctuation.

At least we know Miller stayed awake long enough to hear the 60 Minutes interview. Sleepy Don sure can't do the job!

Definitely his mind is in very poor condition. Poor Trump gets hurt feelings when women speak against him.
