David Ellison technically bought paramount with his dad's money.
Yes, Paramount approved Rush Hour 4 just because Trump wanted it.
Everyone who uses social media and follows news about Paramount actually thinks so.

The past behavior of Trump and his followers.
No.
Netflix winning this one is the worst of all possible worlds.
At best it's going to take a couple of years for this transaction to all get sorted. Trump won't be much of a factor in anything by then.
Yes, Paramount approved Rush Hour 4 just because Trump wanted it.
That claim comes from a November Semafor article that didn't identify sources. Semafor is left-leaning, for the most part; there's certainly no reason to take the assertion at face value.
You keep misusing "prove" and "proof."
Because of your political perspective, you're having a hard time assessing the truth of what's being said online. Anyway; Trump will be leaving the US after 2029 anyway. Even if what's being said online is true (which I believe it is), if the Democrats win after 2029, or if a Republican comes to power who understands and accepts that diversity and Hollywood are different than they were 40 years ago, Paramount will have a different perspective on how to treat its own content.
I saw plenty of legitimate sources also saying it, so I'm pretty sure it was true.
Past behavior is more than enough to prove something is likely to happen, especially when that behavior has consistently been repeated over years.
I hope not. That would be one last streaming app I have to deal with.
Netflix Wins Bidding War For Warner Bros. Discovery, Will Start Exclusive Deal Talks
Netflix has emerged victorious with what appears to be the highest bid for Warner Bros. Discovery and the two sides are set to start exclusive talks.deadline.com
I hope the government shuts this down.
That assumes the apps would merge.
Are they part of any deal? For the Netflix one they become part of a new company.
AI said: From Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix is acquiring the entire studio, its vast film/TV library (including DC Universe, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Friends, classic films), the HBO Max streaming service, and the Warner Bros. Games division, creating a massive content powerhouse, though separate cable channels (CNN, TBS) are spun off. This deal gives Netflix legendary franchises and prestige programming, significantly expanding its content library and subscriber base, but faces intense regulatory scrutiny due to market dominance concerns.
What Netflix Gets (Assets Under Netflix):
Film & TV Studios: Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Television.
Streaming Services: HBO Max.
Iconic Franchises & IP: DC Universe (Batman, Superman), Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Looney Tunes.
Classic Film Library: Casablanca, The Shining, The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, The Matrix, Mad Max, It.
HBO Brand: The entire HBO prestige television brand, including The Sopranos, Euphoria, The White Lotus.
Warner Bros. Games: The video game division.
What Stays With Warner Bros. Discovery (Discovery Global):
Cable Networks: CNN, TNT, TBS, HGTV, Discovery Channel (these form a new, separate publicly traded company).
My opinion is the Netflix deal appealed to WBD because they want non-entertainment assets to remain with the Discovery half.
Except as I believe you’ve asserted many times, what Trump has wrought — or empowered/exposed/enabled, what have you — is unlikely to vanish with him.

And CBS paid him something like 10 million dollars to settle the interview dispute, when it was actually because they needed him to approve the sale of the network.
And the discussion at hand is what influence right-wing studio executives will exert over creative content.
Depends on the market. In Canada, Hulu is a subcategory you can use to filter some material for browsing purposes (similar tabs in the app for Marvel, Disney Kids, etc.) but if not selected, then all material is mixed on the main page. Hulu is not a separate service. I suspect the same thing happens in some other markets.
Of course, title lists are never identical across different markets owing to copyright holders differing in various countries.
But, again, why would Netlfix have to pay Warner Bros. if the FCC blocks it?
