Worst merger of all time

AT&T merger is worse. How do you think Discovery could buy WBD without AT&T mess everything up?

Yeah Discovery is making financial decisions that suck for consumers but it makes sense financially speaking, however, AT&T actively sabotaged both the Warner and HBO brand with their brain dead decision making. Discovery bought a heaping pile of mismanaged debt and is making very cold—and I would argue isn’t worth the consumer backlash that will occur—decisions about the debt. Discovery isn’t a company I support in anyway shape or form, but AT$T deserves at least 60-75% of the blame

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/business/media/att-time-warner-deal.html a long but very insightful read into everything that has transpired over there since the initial idea for a merger. Some of the best reporting of the entire year in that article
