but there was nowhere near the same amount of public outcry.
Trump praised the Disney-Fox merger after having attempted to stop the 2018 merger of AT&T and Time Warner, leading to a trial, but the judge ruled against the Trump administration and the deal went through.
Again, no major public outcry.
At some point after 2020, I noticed that Disney had stopped advertising on my site.
I wrote it off as they're shying away from my comments on gender-affirming care for kids.
I'll never know exactly why, but all I do know is that once the merger went through, Fox and Searchlight also stopped advertising.
The Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros.
is significantly higher and covers more territory than any of the other major corporate mergers we've seen, as Hollywood reshuffles the deck amid the shift to streaming.
Warner Brothers was selling.
The only question was whether Netflix or Paramount Skydance would buy it.
Both deals would have had the blessing of the Trump administration.
But because it's David Ellison and the team that had bought CBS, and because Trump is an ally, the Democrats on the left have turned hashtag block the merger into another no kings or battle for the resistance.

I felt lucky to get it, and it was a sign, at least to me, that Paramount, like Focus Features, was brave enough to take a chance on someone deemed too toxic by the industry.
Landman, Taylor Sheridan's Billy Bob Thornton drama, had become one of Paramount Plus' biggest hits.
Its first season averaged 15.8 million viewers in Nielsen's cross-platform ratings and ranked among the top 10 series of the 2024-2025 season.
