It’s another day in Hollywood deciding to merge as a response to losing money and customers after years of making woke garbage. This time it’s Warner Bros. putting itself up for sale after it took 3 years to realize that buying Discovery was a waste of money and their Jewish CEO ran it into the ground. As Zaslav throws it to Netflix for the severance package, Hollywood’s wagie underclass is angry over this buyout because they see it as a threat to their employment despite years of only taking work for Warner Bros. or Netflix.
The usual suspects are the writers. Along with teamsters and even producers, since Netflix owning Cartoon Network is somehow a threat to people being paid to set up a green screen and being the money man.
The Writers Guild of America has joined other industry groups in coming out against Netflix‘s proposed blockbuster deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery‘s studios and streaming business.
The WGA warned that the $83 billion Netflix-WB deal would eliminate jobs, reduce wages — and raise prices for consumers.
“The world’s largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent,” the guild said in a statement. “The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers. Industry workers along with the public are already impacted by only a few powerful companies maintaining tight control over what consumers can watch on television, on streaming, and in theaters. This merger must be blocked.”
The Hollywood division of the Teamsters union also raised alarms, saying that the merger will kill jobs and raise prices for consumers.
“Teamsters have been clear on our position that greed-fueled consolidation of corporate power, no matter what industry, is a direct threat to good union jobs, the livelihood of our members and the very existence of our industry,” said Lindsay Dougherty, the principal officer of Local 399. “Teamsters will continue to challenge and call for the opposition across all levels of government and that antitrust enforcers reject this deal and any other deal seeking the consolidation of power and market.”
Other Hollywood industry groups have also expressed fears that Netflix’s takeover of Warner Bros. will harm the movie theater biz — given Netflix’s well-known antipathy toward theatrical releases, in favor of putting all of its original movies straight to streaming with only a few exceptions.
The PGA continued, “As we navigate dynamic times of economic and technological change, our industry, together with policymakers, must find a way forward that protects producers’ livelihoods and real theatrical distribution, and that fosters creativity, promotes opportunities for workers and artists, empowers consumers with choices, and upholds freedom of speech. This is the test that the Netflix deal must pass. Our legacy studios are more than content libraries — within their vaults are the character and culture of our nation.”
It’s actually hilarious that these clowns still believe in antitrust laws in 2025. Those pieces of paper couldn’t stop the entertainment industry from becoming just 5 companies and Disney buying up everything.
Nothing was hurting them seeking work at Warner Discovery, Netflix, and even Disney. Somehow this merger is going to ruin everything now that they have to compete with their fellow wagies who only work for Netflix.
Trump is going to approve this despite it not being paramount and move on since trying to stop monopolization is seen as “socialist” and “anti-innovation” by both parties. In the meantime, it’s back to work, wagie. The director needs a new mansion, so you better get those woke scripts and trans actor makeup stations on time, or else it’s permanently working on B-rated slop.
