In announcing the settlement, Bonta's office touted a long list of concessions the AG had wrung from the Ellisons before greenlighting this indefensible, illegal and dangerous merger. Every! single! one! of these concessions is *meaningless bullshit*. Bonta just handed the American movie and TV sector to two of the most odious creeps to draw breath, surrendering without firing a shot.

For a breakdown of how *fucking useless* this settlement is, read (who else?) Matt Stoller, whose piece breaking it down is titled "Happy Oligarch Day!" https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/happy-oligarch-day-as-trump-aligned The first thing Stoller points out is that every one of the "commitments" in the settlement only matter if Bonta's office *enforces* them. 3/
