A 🧵 Nepo baby David Ellison’s recent OpEd deflected attention from the reality that the Paramount attempted takeover of WarnerBros is corrupt to the core, a debt-time bomb, a natl security issue, would decrease diversity of voices in film/media/ journalism +a press freedom issue. #BlockTheMerger 1/n

Stay strong😄! Thank you. Clearly the vibes are bad on the Para-Bros merger. #blockthemerger By the way no matter how Paramount and the Ellisons want to spin this. It’s bad news for them. This will cost them a lot of money in ticking fees. Retreats don’t win wars.

BREAKING NEWS: Thanks to our lawsuit, Paramount and Warner Bros. are backing down and putting their merger on hold. We won’t let corporate monopolists profit at your expense—driving up prices and reducing your entertainment choices.
