The following was my comment published in the NY Times yesterday per its article about the DOJ clearing the Paramount- Warner Bros Discovery merger:
US antitrust law - the statutes and regulations designed to promote fair competition in open markets - prevents businesses from engaging in anticompetitive practices, such as monopolies, price-fixing, and bid-rigging that artificially inflate prices, reduce quality, and stifle innovation for consumers. With this decision allowing the Paramount - Warner Bros. Discovery merger to proceed, the Department of Justice has abdicated its responsibility to enforce the law. In other words, it caved. Let’s hope that state attorneys general and overseas regulators pick up the ball that the DOJ has purposefully fumbled.
This merger is another example of the Billionaires Monopoly Take Over of America. America's Second Gilded Age on Steroids far WORSE than the First Gilded Age doing far more damage! The Billionaire Ellison's are part of the "Mar-a-Lago Mafia" headed by the 80 year old Billionaire Mafia Don. They are ONLY loyal to their Mafia Don and will turn every one of their media into Propaganda machines for the "Mar-a-Lago Mafia" spewing Lies and Hate against the people of America. The solution - Break them ALL up and Dismantle ALL the Monopolies of the Billionaires of America and TAX THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE and put an end to their rule over the people of America. Too much money in too few hands with too much control causing too much damage!!!
Not only will it become one huge company. This would mean people receive only the good news about the regime and other news they regulate. Sounds familiar because this what happening in Russia, North Korea and other countries with a dictatorship.
I would be inclined to sign but you want my cell number. I am tired of the constant stream of text messages and monetary appeals caused by my name and number being passed around.
None of this will be stopped. The forward movement of the oligarchy is steamrolling us all. State AG’s? Not enough would have the will to do this. CNN will become FOX.
Hard if not impossible to successfully battle the billionaires... but one keep trying. Just remember, as with the trumpy regime the downfall of the big money people will also end. The big problem will be the residue of these entities left behind.
For me, living in Athens, Greece, CNN is the only channel I still hope to get some acceptable news from the USA. Otherwise, I am afraid this country will be completely lost for the world.
Not only state AGs, but overseas regulators.

To Trump--no news is good news.
Do we think that’s even possible???? It feels unstoppable but I’d love to be wrong
Keep Trump away from CNN
Who?
Sent... I'm in California, and Bonta will take action... but I'm concerned about other AGs, especially in red states.
Do you have any information about how many attorneys general have taken steps to try to fight this?

100% agreement. I hope state AGs can do it.

friend, the phone number is optional.
It didn't say that on my page.
Exactly.
Sent, thank you!
I’m sorry that being on Social Security and other small income sources doesn’t permit me to donate but signing petitions is free!

that is possible-but nonetheless...
Sadly true
Burn them all out, real fire flames. Cars, businesses, hair, etc.
Hair! Well, ours is in fire, maybe theirs should be too…..🤯
