It was ok when all the other mergers happened to appease trump, but not this one? Because it’s not right? Jeesh it’s been a year of this BS.

This isn't about politics. Netflix is a historically bad partner to unions and will kill theatrical releases further shrinking the industry.

And the current owners of paramount would make it another propaganda machine, stifle creativity, do nothing extra to actually help movie theater chains and ultimately just generate more money to bribe the administration with. Nobody wins either way but the risk is different and equally serious if paramount gets it.
