Democrats lead the polls, while Paramount and Warner Bros. merge
Election season is heating up just as Hollywood decides it needs fewer options.
New polling data gives Democrats a comfortable cushion going into the midterms, but as always, polls are basically just astrology for political nerds. While everyone is busy debating legislative strategy, the real drama is in corporate boardrooms.
Today, Paramount and Warner Bros. are officially tying the knot in a massive merger. We are moving toward a world where three people own every single movie, show, and streaming service ever made. It is the classic American dream: voting for variety while watching the media landscape shrink into a single, beige puddle.
The irony of consumers agonizing over political choice while cheering for the consolidation of their entire entertainment universe is a level of cognitive dissonance that deserves an award.
