Twelve States vs. the Biggest Merger in Hollywood History

from Thirty Minute Reviews · host Adam Taylor and Josie May

Twelve state attorneys general have sued to block Paramount's $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, and Adam read the entire complaint. A breakdown of the market-concentration math that makes this deal presumptively illegal, why a single company controlling CBS, CNN, HBO, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network is a blackout waiting to happen, and the receipts on what happened to Fox's output after Disney swallowed it. Plus the argument that actually decides the case: nobody can start a new Warner Bros., and the Backrooms and Amazing Digital Circus success stories prove it.
