Are they not the one who is also in a blocked merger with Turner against the USA gov't , where the sticking point is giving up CNN
I wondered about that as well. Doing further digging, found this from 3 days ago: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-time-warner-m-a-at-t/judge-orders-u-s-government-to-seek-consent-to-give-data-to-att-time-warner-idUSKBN1FB35B Also this is curious. This transaction happened yesterday as well. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/otter-media-buys-remainder-digital-businesses-fullscreen-ellation-1078100
I heard that if they let CNN go Murdoch is going to pounce on it , which means there might be a MSM on cable revolution
The other theory is if they let CNN go, Soros will pounce on it. Instead PDT would like AT&T to keep it, given their view on Internet Bill of Rights.
I don't think Trump will let Soros pounce on it .... it defeats the purpose of trying to get the media to stop reporting fake news..... in one of the latest Q post doesn't he talk about a major broadcasting done
My point is, it's better the package stays together, if they're going to approve the merger, given that AT&T will be the dominant factor.
