Its how they have been treating CBS News since Bari Weiss was appointed editor-in-chief by new ownership.

And that's what I'm assuming might happen to cause a sell-off, if anything.

But in this case the sell off will most likely be more IP related or cable channel related at first. I don't see a scenario where Warner Bros comes back as a major studio and competes against a Paramount Studio. 20th Century (formally Fox) is just a shell of what it used to be just a few years in to Disney ownership. MGM is only putting out 2-3 films per year now that they are part of Amazon (which was a cause of worry of a Netflix buyout of WB)

Crazy so many people are freaking out over a fairly reasonable, middle of the road, Jewish Lesbian taking over CBS. Crazy how many leftists think she is some hardcore right-winger. Bill Maher was laughing about that the other day.

---

I don't think Weiss fits in any box (left or right) but seeing how she reports directly to Ellison I would say she's just the willing conductor of his vision of how news should be covered.

She definitely fits in at least one box.

Assuming Netflix would have kept production intact because they lack distribution ignores the fact that Netflix benefits exponentially by hastening the theatrical model's decline. The faster the better for the leading (by far) streamer.

During the deal negotiations, while Netflix was wooing skeptical GOP lawmakers that it wasn't a left-wing company looking to get more powerful by snapping up WBD, a delegation of lawmakers paid a visit to its headquarters, and one was both shocked and disturbed to find a basket containing tampons in the men's restroom.

I'm waiting for the justification for being shocked that there were tampons in the men's room. What is so shocking?

Not being shocked by tampons in the men's room is living in fantasy?

Like being so scandalized that you mention it to journalists covering this merger?

I'm trying to imagine being so sheltered.

It's clear you've made a stance in fantasy, so the reality I post would be lost upon you.

And yet pre-op trans men continue to exist and function in society. So who is really living in the fantasy world here? its a reality whether you choose to accept it or not.

This is irrelevant. Soon our AI overlords will craft you a personally curated film specifically suited to your political palate. All your favorite dead actors and actresses will be in it.
