@rustyrocketsThis is big.

@trish_reganElon Musk BUYING CNN?! A new report says Elon is being asked by the Ellisons to join a group of equity investors in the $110 B Paramount - Warner Brothers Discovery deal… It makes all the sense in the world. Remember: Elon has helped nurture & pioneer the “citizen journalism” genre. Just imagine how he could remake CNN… CNN is working off a 1980s model with costly bureaus all around the world… news has changed. News is faster, more accessible, more global, more transparently opinionated, and more engaging. And we haven’t even started talking about VR! There WILL come a day in which the citizen journalist can “transport” you to the front lines of any news story…anywhere in the world. CNN has outdated infrastructure. By injecting cutting edge technology (and some actual entrepreneurship!) into CNN — the network could actually become a competitive news product. And this terrifies the establishment. WATCH:

@BlackMajikMan90A US Federal Judge has SUSPENDED the Paramount/WB deal.

@ToonHiveA sign-off for the settlement of the controversial Paramount-Warner Bros. merger has been delayed as the federal court has allowed a briefing for the Block The Merger Coalition groups, who recently asked the judge to give them time to oppose the settlement. The coalitions are expected to file a brief by tomorrow. If granted, the merger deal may receive an expensive delay.
