WGA, Cinema United Praise States For Suing To Block “Dangerous” Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery Merger

Twelve Democratic-led states, including California and New York, sued to block Paramount Skydance’s $110 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the lawsuit argues the merger harms American consumers and film distribution markets while granting excessive power over basic cable channels. The Writers Guild of America and Cinema United have praised the legal action, supporting the state attorneys general in opposing this dangerous media consolidation.
