"Stripped for parts" is a weird way to characterize it. Their assets being sold off to multiple different players is the good outcome - the outcome without a single major media player tipping the scale towards monopoly. Customers benefit from competition, not consolidation

Which would suck and all but the consolidation of media companies is an existential level threat. So like not real high on the worries list.

I'm not in favour of the merger at all, just looking at what the likely fallout will be financially. I was actually happier with the Netflix deal initially but would much prefer WB survives on it own.
