2. no idea, but the the DOJ requires AT&T to get rid of CNN in for the Time Warner deal is bullshit,

definitely politically motivated

It is no coincidence that the trump administration hates CNN, and that the DOJ is being manipulated by trump, so this would not surprise me.

In this case I am rooting for AT&T who says no way, and they will take this to court

4. So trump wants to force a sale of an actual news channel to someone who would destroy it

An authoritarian going after the free press? Nothing to see here.

9. Of course I am speculating, but out of all the assets the DOJ told AT&T to get rid of if they

wanted to attempt the deal was CNN. That doesn't even make sense to me.

Personally, the deal should not be allowed because in my view it is really anti-competitive, but that they requested specifically that CNN be gotten rid of for the deal to be considered, really seems that this is politically motivated

3. I've heard nothing of this, BUT . . . . maybe not a bad thing.

The following is PURE speculation:

Rupert and sons are nothing if not businessmen.

They are making BeaucoupBux on Fox.

Whispers have become open discussions that Rupert has soured on Toxic Don. Maybe to the point bitter.

Toxic Don hates CNN.

Rupert knows how to create media with a point of view.

Imagine CNN as the cable channel we wanted MSNBC to be. Imagine the viewership if they go all in on Progressivism.

6. Why would Murdoch do that?

He has lots of American Media properties; none of them are Liberal. None of his British properties are Liberal.

He's a cancer, and should die of cancer ASAP.
