Paramount buys Warner Bros Discovery in deal set to reshape Hollywood

Welp, there goes CNN. I stopped watching them a while ago, but I know people for whom it's still their primary news source. Funny thing is, I own a small amount of WBD stock, and just got in the mail a notice to vote about approving the Netflix deal. I was going to do it tomorrow, but guess now i don't need to bother. Anyway, there was no real good way for this to ever go I guess. Just more of a choice of what was the lesser of two evils. Sadly, I think the greater evil prevailed.

I really do think they expect this company to collapse in on itself.

1. Let Paramount win

2. Both companies collapse under giant debt

3. Both companies get sold off for a bargain price to cover essential expenses

4. Netflix gets them both for pennies on the dollar

5. ???

6. Profit

Can we just go back to the original plan of WB and DIscovery splitting up without someone else buying them? What a mess.

It's comforting that there are people making tens of millions of dollars a year to sit at their desks and be complete and total fuck-ups 7 days a week.

Oh wait no, not "comforting," the exact opposite word.

Which is weird, if it pays that much, you would think it’s in high demand. Yet adding “professional complete and total fuckup 24/7” to my resume has not gotten me any calls.

Punchlines like this. Never liked them, never will.

Zaslav isn’t sure if the deal will close, just that he gets paid either way.
