When you take on $80 billion dollars in debt to buy a film & TV company (hi David Ellison!) you don't ask yourself "how can I make amazing film and TV?"
You ask yourself "How the hell can I get these guys their money back?"
Take it from the film and TV workers in Atlanta

Here's a fun little dive into corporate astroturfing in the USA:
There's an "organization" called Neighbors for Strong Communities that lists no board members, staff or funders.
The address on their website is a nondescript black door in Washington, DC next to an Italian restaurant. Seems legit!

1/ Paramount's merger with WBD won't just cut jobs in LA and New York. It'll also decimate *Atlanta* where people have had their lives torn apart by merger after merger, and where they are on the chopping block due to overlap with Paramount operations. From our town hall last week🧵

The delay of whether the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger will be signed off for approval could be until Monday, September 28th, @DEADLINE reports.
If the deal is not signed off by then, Paramount will be forced to pay the $7M a day ticking fee to WB shareholders.

The Bari Weiss-led CBS News is being pummeled by a storm of outrage over a story about Abdul El-Sayed—and we have learned that within the network, some staffers have raised the matter with standards.
