Investors voted with their pockets, and the merger with Paramount clears another hurdle.

A few months ago, conservatives were very worried that Warner Bros.-Discovery would be bought by the ultra-woke people at Netflix, taking the already decadent film industry into an even deeper leftist purgatory of bad movies with nefarious subliminal messages.

But that was not to be, as Paramount swooped in and made a much better financial offer for the studio, literally saving the day like a hero from one of their movies.

To no one’s surprise, a large group of Hollywood leftists came out in force trying to impede the deal, but they were not successful.

Yesterday, it emerged that Warner Bros’ investors have backed Paramount’s takeover, bringing the $111bn deal a step closer.

Warner Bros. shareholders voted overwhelming to approve a merger with Paramount Skydance, despite widespread opposition to the deal in Hollywood https://t.co/v2rEBgpHSt

The Telegraph reported:

“An initial count of votes at an investor meeting found shareholders ‘overwhelmingly’ supported the takeover by Paramount Skydance, the Hollywood giant run by the billionaire Ellison family.

The investor support means the tie-up between two of Hollywood’s biggest studios will probably be completed by the third quarter of this year, though it still requires approval by regulators.

Investors are backing the deal despite a widespread backlash in Hollywood, with claims that it will narrow the range of films and TV programs made and give outsized influence to Donald Trump’s allies.”

Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. has been approved by Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders.

When insane leftists say ‘narrow the range’, they mean that movies will not be pure platforms of LGBT-socialist propaganda anymore, nor failed experiments in which racial and social hatred is stoked to the max.

“[The merger] has fueled fears that the Ellison family will have outsized influence over the US media through their control over the Hollywood studios and their media assets, including CBS News and TikTok’s US division.”
