The left-wing anti-monopoly crowd is at it again. Now they’re ranting and raving about the idea of Paramount-Skydance possibly buying up Warner Bros. Discovery. These so-called “watchdogs” always foam at the mouth when a free-market deal takes shape. Yet, they had no such panic when Netflix, the streaming giant loved by liberals, was lining up to snatch Warner Bros. for itself. So, what’s changed? Suddenly, President Trump gets involved, and the left can’t handle it.
It’s almost laughable. The Open Markets Institute—yet another organization obsessed with stopping American companies from thriving—wants regulators to kill the deal. They’re claiming Trump’s voice in the process is “not normal.” What’s really not normal is the left’s hypocrisy. When their Silicon Valley pals want to merge and get richer, it’s all crickets. But if America-First leadership has a say, it’s a “threat” that must be stopped.
Let’s call it how it is: these so-called “consumer advocates” don’t care about everyday Americans. They only care about protecting their globalist buddies and keeping conservative voices out of the boardroom. Paramount and Warner Bros. are American brands. If anyone should determine their future, it should be American leaders—not unelected elitist organizations with deep ties to leftist think tanks.
It’s become obvious that the anti-monopoly gang doesn’t want a fair playing field. They want to rig the field. Netflix walks away from a merger? Not a problem. Trump steps up to defend America’s interests in media, and the left goes berserk. Why? Because they can’t stand the idea of a president who actually puts American businesses first.
Once again, the left screams about “dangerous” consolidation—unless it’s their donors pulling the strings. They fear Trump’s influence because he’s not afraid to shake things up and keep Hollywood’s political machine in check. At the end of the day, the Open Markets Institute isn’t protecting Americans. They’re just protecting their own turf. If Trump’s “not normal” involvement means shaking up the status quo and putting America back in control, maybe “normal” is the real problem.
