“Media conglomerate putting together majority cash offer for WBD backed by ultra-rich Ellison family, reports say”

The Wall Street Journal, this Guardian article and other business news media are reporting that the rumoured Warner Brothers - Paramount merger is back under consideration — this time with the deep pockets of the Ellisons.

One can see it as a worthwhile investment for the Ellisons regardless whether the motivation is acquiring IP or media control.

Disquieting for Star Trek franchise fans nonetheless.

    Christ those Discovery fuckers just shat the bed this whole time. Seriously conservative/libertariandoodle people - Stop buying IP. You don’t know what the fuck to do with it. You waste everyone’s time and your money.
