While there has been some resistance to the biggest mergers in recent history, we've never seen anything like hashtag block the merger.
Meet the new resistance, same as the old resistance.
12 state attorneys general, including California, have sued to block the deal.
The Writers Guild of America has filed its own antitrust lawsuit.
SAG-AFTRA has publicly opposed the merger, though does not join the litigation.
Opposition also includes the Future Film Coalition, which leads the Block the Merger campaign, Democracy Defenders Fund, Committee for the First Amendment, Free Press, the International Documentary Association, and the American Economic Liberties Project, among others.
More than 5,600 industry figures have signed an open letter against the deal, including Mark Ruffalo, Jane Fonda, Javier Bardem, Elliot Page, Emma Thompson, Ben Stiller, and Cynthia Nixon.
Paramount Skydance has, for now, delayed closing.
Can they hold the line under this unprecedented pressure campaign?
Hope springs eternal.
But you won't read about that point of view in any of the trades.
They're a monopoly, too.
Most of them are owned by the same entity, Penske Eldridge.
Just today, it was announced that the Hollywood Foreign Press, the former owners of the Golden Globes, are suing Jay Penske for $150 million.
They're claiming Penske orchestrated their downfall so he could buy the Golden Globes.
Penske already owns Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, IndieWire, Gold Derby, Predicting Sight, Rolling Stone, a virtual monopoly on the awards race from soup to nuts.
Gold Derby shapes the nominees, the trades take ads from the studios, and the Golden Globes hand out the awards.
For podcast listeners, a tweet from Matthew Bologna News.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has filed a $150 million antitrust lawsuit against Penske Media and others over an allegedly corrupt scheme to fraudulently acquire the Golden Globe Awards and monopolization of trade media advertising.
But wouldn't you know, when Rebecca Keegan wrote a hit piece on me, she did so in The Hollywood Reporter, owned by Jay Penske.
