Summary
Twelve states are already suing to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, warning it’ll crush competition and hike prices — and now L.A. County is joining the fight, risking 2,500 entertainment jobs. Supervisors, led by Lindsey Horvath, plan to file an amicus brief with economic data, arguing the deal threatens the entire creative ecosystem. Paramount counters that the merger will build a stronger competitor and that the DOJ already approved it. California and allies are ready to halt the merger until courts decide, even threatening a temporary restraining order.
