Bribes need to be paid in advance.

    Which is ironic considering the subpar court ruled that bribes were perfectly legal so long as they happened after the fact and referred to as gratuities.

    The alternative would be Trump preventing this deal from moving forward and basically giving Warner-Bros Discovery to Skydance/Paramount, further consolidating the media under right-wing billionaire Larry Ellison. I think I'd rather Netflix own WBD.

    Still can. CNN and other television networks will be split into a separate company as Netflix is not interested in that part of the business. That company will be put for sale as soon as the deal finalizes.

    I couldn't imagine being stupid enough to give this company money.

    Americans really are sheep.
