I could swear one of these existed but I've searched twice in the last week and couldn't find it. Mods, if I'm just blind, feel free to tell me so. Two pieces of news this week that I wanted to post about but didn't see suitable threads: After starting a new trend of vaulting films for tax purposes, gutting TCM, and giving himself a $250 mil payday while writers and actors strike for living wages, Zaslav and WBD are receiving an "Honour for Excellence" award https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/m...bc-international-honor-excellence-1235573837/ Disney is being sued by investors claiming Disney+ utilized a cost shifting scheme to hide losses and artificially inflate stock prices https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/b...stors-sue-disney-streaming-losses-1235577249/ Edit: I forgot this one. Max is now gonna interrupt your streaming with headlines from CNN https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/cnn-live-streamed-news-max-1235703599/
