This is the best possible outcome out of a very shitty list. They haf to sell, Disney already owns too much, Jeff Bezos would monetize it in the worst possible ways, and Larry Ellison is the most evil billionaire in the US. Yes, much worse than Elon, Zuck, Bezos, etc.
EDIT: Unfortunately Larry Ellison could still buy the global division which includes CNN. Netflix is only buying the studios and streaming. Still no idea what happens to DC Comics but I think it goes with global?
How many more acquisitions before it's all just one entertainment company?
ellison definitely wants control of CNN, he needs to turn it into a fox-lite.
He's already doing that with CBS News, minus the "-lite." We are going to see full-on MAGA media propaganda on a national broadcast channel from now on, not just in the news, but in their programming.
TV programming is already very conservative, with all their Copaganda. Now it's going to get much, much worse.
