...no real evidence either way.
Most of the opponents are unions. Their interests will be ignored unless a Democratic government is somehow put into office before the merger completes, which is doubtful.
Paramount opposes it, but every argument they give would also apply to the Paramount takeover of WBD they are arguing for, so... I don't even know why their lawyers submitted this brief.
This year there have been multiple mergers, all heavily against the public interest, where it became clear the deciding point was whether adequate fealty was paid to Trump. Two massive TV station operators were involved in seperate mergers that are only going ahead because they opposed ABC showing a comedian critical of Trump and because ABC "settled" a bogus lawsuit filed by Trump. CBS is going ahead because it cancelled a major Trump critic, also settled a bogus lawsuit with Trump, and the new owner is run by a right wing nutjob relation to Licence Ellison. T-Mobile bought US Cellular after dropping anti-discrimination policies, paying towards Trump's inauguration fund, and funding the "ballroom", despite DOJ objections. And, so on.
The merger will go ahead just as long as Netflix keeps up its steady stream of crappy right wing action movies and right wing comedy specials. And, of course, makes "donations" to Trump "causes".
