The Ellisons are grifting their way to influencing Americans’ information diets: TikTok, Paramount, CBS, 60 Min, UFC, Colbert… are just the start!

Powerful thread showing how & why the proposed Ellison takeover of Warner-Bros is harmful.

Hi @[email protected]

The Ellison attempted takeover of Warner-Bros is an abomination of a media mega-merger. It’s corrupt and bad for democracy, the entertainment industry, actors, press freedom, consumers, journalism, diversity of voices and national security.

The Ellison bid for Warner-Bros is enabled by a corrupted MAGA DOJ.

“team of career lawyers who had spent months scrutinizing the deal were leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it”
