Today's newsletter is about how David Zaslav (CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN) effectively endorsed Donald Trump (without actually saying Trump's name) www.readtpa.com/p/warner-bro...
Let's get real about what the head of CNN's parent company meant in his Sun Valley Conference remarks.
more than anything I’m annoyed by zaslov implying “consolidation is good for business” as the current owner of WB, a prime entertainment asset which keeps getting sold off for less and less money it’s literally a perfect example showing how mergers destroy value
What a craven POS. I worked for WBD through the Discovery merger. He spoke to us like he was the common guy that grew up poor and Jewish in NY and wouldn't take any shit from assholes like Trump. But I guess money speaks loudest. Not surprised. (I left shortly after, largely bc of execs like him.)
I mean, you could've just said white male CEO and I'd know how they're voting.
We should listen carefully to whatever David Zaslav says, then do exactly the opposite.
I hate that these motherfuckers own TCM. I also love when TCM starts showing things from an earlier era that directly contradicts any any fascistic tendencies. I fully expect them to show Chaplin’s The Great Dictator during the RNC.
I get that he said that at some conference, but I would really love a journalist would ask a follow up, like “how would the Democratic Party help as to ‘business friendly’, ‘consolidation’ and deregulation’?”
Zaslav wants to add the US to the list of things he destroyed for a tax write off.
