Ellison’'s personal guarantee doesn’'t solve the real problem — it deepens it. The bid would concentrate massive media power under one billionaire family with deep political ties, weakening independent journalism and creative risk. The Paramount-Ellison regime has already sidelined awards films, cut DEI, embraced canceled insiders, and prioritized macho IPintellectual property over diverse voices. A Warner takeover would spread a Silicon Valley, feelings-don’'t-matter culture across media — more consolidation, fewer safeguards, and studios bent to ideology over artists and workers.
