David Ellison Should Never Own a Combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery, because of course he shouldn't. No one person, family or company should own so much news, media and entertainment. But that didn't stop David Ellison from trying to convince us he should (and oddly making it clear he should not). https://stuff.davidaugust.com/david-ellison-convinced-me-he-should-never-own-nor-control-a-combined-paramount-warner-bros-discovery/ #paramount #WarnerBrosDiscovery #wbd #psky #merger #monopoly #news #media #entertainment #movies #tv #film #television

Action speaks louder than words. "Ellison, who sought fit to hand control of CBS News to conservative gadfly Bari Weiss despite her lack of experience in running a straight news organization, claimed in his op-ed that he values 'journalistic independence' and claimed he would not 'put a finger on the scale' if he took control of CNN."

NEW: Two government watchdog groups have demanded an investigation into whether FCC officials violated ethics requirements by accepting luxury gala tickets from Paramount as it sought federal approval for its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. https://www.propublica.org/article/fcc-paramount-gifts-brendan-carr-ethics-complaint-warner-bros-merger?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #FCC #Government #Ethics #USPolitics #Paramount #CBS #Entertainment #Business

Replying to @ProPublica@newsie.social
The complaints cite a ProPublica report detailing how CBS and Paramount have for years given FCC commissioners luxury gala tickets, which the commissioners accepted even as the FCC was reviewing or about to review major Paramount business decisions.

Been away a bit (nixos2 drama, more about that soon), but the Paramount-Warner Bros. saga kept moving without me: EU cleared it with conditions, then Paramount agreed to freeze the whole deal until a trial happens — maybe not until June 2027. Both sides are calling it a win. Let's see why. https://blog.ppb1701.com/deep-freeze #streaming #paramount #warnerbros #antitrust #consolidation #streamingwars #mediaconsolidation #blog

That's a big one... and costly for the Ellisons (they owe $7 million a day past September 30). Also punts this past the midterms (see: CNN), plus more time for a possible AI bubble burst (affecting Oracle). Paramount Agrees To Delay Warner Bros. Merger Into 2027 https://www.engadget.com/2222897/paramount-agrees-to-delay-warner-bros-merger-into-2027/ #Paramount #warnerbros

Could the Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros. actually be in trouble? U.S. state attorneys general, Hollywood unions and a group of Paramount+ subscribers have sued to stop the merger. Now, a Paramount shareholder has accused boss David Ellison and his father, Oracle founder Larry, of striking an illegal deal with President Trump. “The Ellisons’ actions not only harm the reputations of the news outlets they currently own, which are hemorrhaging viewers, but they are latent liabilities waiting to be triggered by a future administration,” states the complaint. Here's more from @THR@flipboard.com. https://flip.it/NbVxcs #EntertainmentBusiness #Paramount #DavidEllison
