Regarding the Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Brothers and a likely faster path to regulatory approval, Jared Kushner's fund is also likely to be involved in the transaction. The White House continues to be for sale.
The White House involvement in censorship has done so much damage to CBS News. A Paramount Skydance acquisition of WBD and CNN would take things in quite on ominous direction.
Agree with you on all these point, but if you have WBD, would you sell for the paramount takeover or hold out for the netflix merger? I inherited shares of WBD (which came from the AT&T spin out) and I'm conflicted about what to do...
Personally, I think I would sell. I think all of the acquisition hype is inflating the price of the stock way above where the fundamentals are. I think you win now, extracting a good premium, without worrying about the regulatory or political uncertainties.
