Pretty easy to get two hacks confused I guess. Maybe we should loosen unreasonable search and sezieure. I watched an episode of CSI where a bad guy had a gun his car and did a terrorist attack because the cops didn't get a warrant in time. Thank you TV for showing me I don't need any rights!

And who is wizened enough to censor the internet? You? AT&T? Free speech is a fundamental human right that the Nazis didn't respect at all. If you want to act like them go on ahead, but don't be upset if I call you brainwashed too.

That's because you and every other idiot zoomer has been brainwashed into thinking protecting free speech is racist or something. If you don't understand why megacorps and the government shouldn't be able to censor you then you shouldn't be able to use the Internet at all.

He was a big fan of the books and the games. He wanted some creative control because the writers were going off source material. I don't blame him for leaving. His reputation was on the line as he was the main character.

The only other franchise he was in was the Witcher. Both the Witcher and Superman failed due to bad writing not the acting.

Sounds like these "grassroots backers" work for Warner Brothers to me.

The 9/11 attacks put the CIA on a dramatically different course. The agency went from an emphasis on traditional spy work — collecting intelligence and recruiting foreign spies — to a focus on paramilitary operations.

This quote is a huge lie. The CIA has been involved in paramilitary ops and coups in South America and other places since its inception. This article tries to pin all of the CIAs sins on the Bush administration which is a lie by omission and a hostile lie as it's praising the agency on the Ukrainian Russian war. This puff piece was meant to make it seem like the CIA is in the moral right to be anti Russia but made a misstep on the war on terror. It's propaganda and it is a terrible way to stay informed.

Yeah that puff piece was full of lies.

Sure they got a lot of stuff in the Fox archive I'm just not sure it was 70 billion worth. Amazon bought MGM for much less. Disney also sold their Mirimax catalog years ago for less than a billion. Having a big back catalog is nice but not if it comes with an insane amount of debt. They could have made a deal with Fox for their catalog and their IPs for less money but they bought all their studios too and then fired a bunch of people. Only movie Searchlight put out this year was a flaming hot Cheeto movie.

I think MS buying Activision is also a losing play but MS is in a better position to spend that kind of money compared to Disney.

If the strategy was to kill Hulu then why keep it around? Just axe it or sell it and put all your stuff on one app. I also don't get the Paramount+ and Showtime strategy. If you are trying to beat Netflix by having better content why split it into 2 apps?

Streaming could be a whole other post really. All these companies have bought into having their own app and they are all losing big time. Might be time to reevaluate streaming in general.
