Revealed: Trump's DOJ sidelined antitrust lawyers in rush to approve MAGA media deal

President Donald Trump's Justice Department gave the green light last week to a controversial mega-acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN, by Paramount Skydance, a media giant with a Trump-friendly CEO. But reports suggest they may have rushed the process and ignored the opinions of career officials.According to the Wall Street Journal, "A team of career lawyers who had spent months scrutinizing the deal was leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it on the grounds that the combination of the two movie studios would be anticompetitive and violate antitrust law, the people said."However, ultimately the DOJ told this team they were closing the investigation before they had formally made a decision, and announced publicly it was their opinion the merger wouldn't pose a threat to competition.Senior leaders at the DOJ, according to the report, "believed that Paramount Chief Executive Officer David Ellison, son of Oracle co-founder and Trump ally Larry Ellison, persuasively addressed many of the staff’s questions," including "how the combined company could meet its commitment to make 30 theatrical releases a year, given its increased debt load."The DOJ denies any aspect of the investigation was rushed, putting out a statement in response to the reporting that said, “The Antitrust Division conducted a thorough investigation to assess whether the proposed transaction would harm competition. The investigatory record indicated that the transaction will increase competition across the media and entertainment ecosystem, benefiting American consumers and workers.”Some strategists have warned that the merger will lead to a "shakeup" of talent at CNN similar to that which reshaped CBS under Paramount, including the possible reassignment or removal of figures like Kaitlan Collins who have heavily scrutinized Trump.

Robert De Niro rambles incoherently about hating America during bizarre counterprogram to White House UFC

Actor Robert De Niro actually told his audience to stop applauding for America during a rambling speech at a liberal show intended to compete with the president's UFC fights at the White House Sunday night.While President Donald Trump's event included a military flyover and patriotic displays of love for the U.S., the anti-Trump liberals at the "Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment" show in New York City did the opposite.'Loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.'De Niro was reading from a letter about patriotism when the audience cheered."Later the letter stated, 'Regardless of political affiliation or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country,'" he said.After hearing cheers, he responded, "Not so fast!""The phrase, ‘We all love our country,’ stuck in my throat. Because our country isn't so lovable right now. I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser," De Niro said.This drew applause from the audience."I can't love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can't love a country that takes health care away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class," he continued."I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families," De Niro said. "I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress."RELATED: WH removes song from ICE video after Ariana Grande objects: 'Inhumane, heinous nonsense' Meanwhile, the White House had a military flyover, a bald eagle, and large men fighting each other for glory and to entertain an audience of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen.De Niro has been very vocal about his political opposition to Trump and his policies.
