According to the Wall Street Journal: "A team of career lawyers who had spent months scrutinizing Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. Discovery were leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it on the grounds that the combination of the two movie studios would be anticompetitive and violate antitrust law, the people said. The staff investigators hadn’t yet made a final recommendation—a typical step in the deal-review process—and were told Friday that the department would close the investigation, effectively clearing the deal at the federal level, some of the people said.” This is NOT how our federal government is SUPPOSED to work. Under Trump all norms are thrown out the window to enhance himself, his family and his cronies. There are three separate branches of government to create appropriate checks and balances. In this instance it is up to Congress to step in to ensure that the norms are followed. The Paramount/Warner deal would NOT be good for a healthy democracy. CONGRESS MUST STOP THIS MEDIA CONSOLIDATION!!!
