What a mess. Just what we need — more media mega mergers.

So how long until we are down to one mega corp that owns all media? I mean it’s getting close but how long until it’s just all over?

WB brought to you by Carls Jr.

Totally not the most corrupt industry outside of religion 🤦‍♂️

I hope Disney doesn't buy it.

I hope no one buys it. All these media conglomerates need to be broken up.

Everything needs broken up. People on here bitching about capitalism don't remember when the government broke up monopolies or didn't allow monster mergers in the first place. No economic system works when the governmental system turns a blind eye.

When I was young the FTC was always blocking mergers. Somewhere along the line they brought in a rubber stamp and quit doing their job.

Biden's FTC chair, Lina Kahn, was our last, best hope.

I'm betting the mouse will snatch it and finally own 90% of everyone's favorite childhood characters

I hope so too, but will also be genuinely shocked if they don't
