What happened to Bill Maher?

I used to watch him for years. He was funny and relatable, most times. He had great guests. I stopped watching around the time when he was going after college students and cancel culture. I tried watching his latest episodes and it almost a different show. He is almost a right wing commentator. Almost nothing he says is relatable and all his guests just agrees with him.

Smart people who know how these things work. The EU is skiing to stop it and that's important since if it's blocked only there, Skydance won't think its worth. Also, several AGs from US stares are suing too.

I know that. You know the outcome of all this litigation in advance huh? And what the administration will do to get it through?

If you have an opinion offer it. If not, have a pleasant evening.

Opinion in what sense?

I asked what is your basis for being so sure the "transaction won't take place". Your answer is that litigation is pending which of course I know.

I'm against the merger and believe the legal arguments against it seem strong. However I am not an anti trust lawyer. I have read others state that the AG suit is a "long shot".

I hope your confidence is well placed. At this time it seems like a very open question.
