    When this is all done, Skydance/Paramount/CBS needs to seriously lose 100% of its broadcast licenses in every city and all across the country. I don’t care if it’s tomorrow, five years from now, or 20 years from now, this company has no business existing as a company anymore.

    why are we allowing other countries to buy so much of our media production? First EA games, now Paramount? Why does anyone outside of the United States need a stake in our media companies?
