I've never rooted for Comcast in my life, but even I know that they were best of a very bad bunch who had any chance at winning this bidding process.
There was NO good outcome from this sale, but Netflix is the worst possibility.
Say what you will about the Ellisons, they aren't actively trying to destroy cinema (just pervert it), nor are they running the biggest slop machine in existence, but Netflix is, on both accounts.
This isn't saying I think it would have been good if Paramount won, just less bad than Netflix, as at least HBO would have probably survived.
The Ellisons are actively trying to destroy the US government and replace it with a surveillance state. Fuck those people.
Yeah their goal with buying media companies is to fundamentally reshape culture towards the more bigoted.
im not sure bigotry is the goal as much as control is.
The rich may have material investment in bigotry, but don't discount that they also develop emotional investment in it as well. Even if Vivian Wilson were her father's sole heir and fully on board with continuing his financial and business empire, none of these right wing billionaires would ever tolerate their child marrying her.
It's the same reason Frederick the Great of Prussia had a childhood boyfriend killed by his father.
