California AG Calls Out Paramount Leak | Fresno News

California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta has shut down talks with Paramount over their $111 billion Warner Bros. buyout, accusing them of leaking confidential meeting details and negotiating in bad faith. The session was meant to resolve a multi-state lawsuit claiming the merger harms competition — with Bonta pushing for Paramount to spin off cable channels and keep its movie studio separate. While Paramount remains silent, pressure mounts from Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Bass to settle before trial in March, fearing Hollywood job losses and industry fallout. With trust broken, the future of this blockbuster deal hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
