Cable Giants Ironically Plan To Sue FCC For Illegally Killing Media Ownership Limits
It's done. Paramount closed on Warner Bros. Tuesday, and the new company is just "Skydance." The states settled for production money and an editorial board, the FCC waved through the Gulf stake at staff level, and CNN's still fighting to get into the White House.

Gavin Newsom Makes An Ass Of Himself On Antitrust, Paramount Merger
Been away a bit (nixos2 drama, more about that soon), but the Paramount-Warner Bros. saga kept moving without me: EU cleared it with conditions, then Paramount agreed to freeze the whole deal until a trial happens — maybe not until June 2027. Both sides are calling it a win. Let's see why.

Brendan Carr Is Illegally Dismantling U.S. Media Consolidation Law
The DOJ cleared Paramount-WBD with zero conditions in June. Turns out career staff wanted to sue and got overruled before they could say so. Now 12 states just sued anyway — and Oregon wants to know if Paramount helped write the DOJ's own clearance letter.
