It's a really interesting point because I think that aligns with the way Hollywood sees Paramount and the Ellison family at this point, and also the way
the journalistic institutions like CNN and all of the, you know, legacy journalists view David Ellison and the Ellison family, and that is they don't like them.
I mean, the pushback against CBS and his decision to bring in Barry Weiss and then leading to Anderson Cooper leaving 60 Minutes, I mean, more and more, it seems as though the predominantly more liberal
that is entrenched in these institutions.
They do not like David Ellison.
We just saw that photo that went viral of David Ellison hanging out with Lindsey Graham before the State of the Union.
And now he's gonna own all of Hollywood.
And what does it mean if all of Hollywood decides they hate their new boss?
Does that mean that they just don't wanna work with them anymore?
What does it mean if all of Hollywood realizes that their new boss is gonna try to fire 50 to 60 to 70% of them?
What does that mean for the remaining 30 or 40% left over?
Are they going to say, screw this, we don't want to work with you, we don't want to be on your team?
Does that mean that they're going to all shift over to Netflix, which, as you say, actually has become entrenched in Hollywood in a way where I think Hollywood respects and likes Netflix.
In a lot of ways, it was kind of the saving grace
of Hollywood over the past decade.
And I think that is something that is probably going to be an underrated force in the markets.
And that is just how unpopular David Ellison is becoming among the very community that he is trying to be a part of.
He wants to be in the Sunset Boulevard Hollywood Club.
