If damage is going to be done either way, I'd rather at least see less of it under the control of the giant orange shit bag and his shit head friends.
I think one of the main reasons Trump wants them to get WB is so they can get control CNN.
They're not that bad, they do at least call Trump out on his lies, and they air Have I Got News For You, which is practially South Parks levels of anti-Trump.
It's not Paramount wants that, it's Trump that wants it from all of the studios, I'm assuming because he's an immature man-child who can't handle the fact that things have changed in the last 40 years.
No it's really not, they can't handle anything that doesn't follows their bullshit, and Star Trek is about as far from their bullshit as you can get. The things they hate more than anything are diversity, helping people, and people from different groups cooperating, and that's what Star Trek has been about since it started.
Not sure they could make it any less watchable.
He's Trump supporter, that's all the proof you need.
“Star Trek” as the Most Incredibly Liberal Anything Ever is overstated — remember, this is the franchise that dragged its feet on featuring gay characters for decades, to the point it was bringing up the absolute rear in finally doing so — but it’s sillier to act like the growing takeover of major media outlets by Trump devotees is not a legitimate concern.
OK I might have gone a bit overboard at first, it's definitely has been a little slow and hesitant to really embrace stuff like that, but it's still more liberal than anything that would be allowed under Trump controlled media.
Again, Paramount is now under the control of Trump supporters, so there's a more than likely chance they're going to try to force everything they produce to follow his agenda, which Star Trek definitely does not. Again I admit, I might have overblown how liberal it's been over the years, but Trek's philosophy and approach to things like diversity, multiculturalism, cooperation, and science about as far MAGA's non-stop racism, sexism, homophobia, isolationism, and their openly anti-science stance.
Trump Says Netflix-Warner Bros. Deal ‘Could Be a Problem’
President Donald Trump raised potential antitrust concerns for Netflix Inc.’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., noting that the market share of the combined entity may pose problems.
Even in the TOS era, there were a few shows that handled inclusion better than TOS, like Mission: Impossible and Land of the Giants, which put their African-American leads in prominent co-lead roles rather than limiting the actors of color to supporting roles like TOS did. Still, TOS was toward the vanguard for the day, even if not at the head of the pack.
Despite Berman's policy about LGBTQ inclusion, the shows in his era were otherwise pretty progressive. I think DS9 was the first SFTV show with an African-American lead, and one of the very few for a while.
As for the influence of politics on media content, the truth is that most studio execs have always been conservative -- they're rich, what do you expect -- but they've tolerated liberal messages in fiction because audiences liked it and it made them money, which was ultimately all that mattered to them. These days, though, they do seem to be getting more aggressive about pushing ideological purity. It's hard to say whether they'd really prioritize that over making a profit, though.
I'm convinced of nothing. You're the one panicking about remote and unlikely events as if they're absolutely certain to occur.
Here's some bad news: nearly 80 million people voted for the dickhead. If that alone is absolute proof that they're all mindlessly cruel Trumpbots then we're already doomed and you might as well crawl into a deep hole to await the end.
Not "most people." Most people you apparently pay attention to.
Either they're assholes, or complete morons. I can be at least a little forgiving of people who fell his shit the first time, but anybody who voted for him a second can just go to hell.
Well, the intelligent people who are actually aware of what's going on.
There’s been an entire cottage industry for the past decade among academics, journalists, and pundits determined to prove the contrary. The results have been unconvincing at best.
I think the fact is, we just don’t want to accept the obvious about our fellow Americans — even though they’ve shown us in no uncertain terms not once, but twice now.
