- Liberal anti-Trump lawyers are assisting Nexstar's corrupt merger with TEGNA to create a media censorship machine while violating a court order.
- The merger would give Nexstar-TEGNA control over 265 TV stations in 44 states, reaching 80% of households, and has already led to price hikes and journalist layoffs.
- Nexstar demanded Disney remove Jimmy Kimmel to gain favorable FCC and Antitrust Division treatment for the merger, which Trump supported.
- Despite a judge's injunction to keep the companies separate, Nexstar stacked TEGNA's board with its own executives and bragged about treating TEGNA as a subsidiary.
- The lawyers behind this strategy, like Beth Wilkinson, are elite corporate litigators who claim to fight for the rule of law while flouting it.
- In the Paramount-Warner merger, billionaire Larry Ellison gave $45 million to Trump to approve the deal, with promises to revamp CNN's coverage.
- The merger faces judicial opposition, but Paramount plans to appeal to the Supreme Court using corrupt connections, potentially through the shadow docket.
- Both mergers highlight deep legal corruption involving elite lawyers tied to Supreme Court justices and a lack of pushback from the corporate legal establishment.
- These cases illustrate a systemic problem where oligarchs bully enforcers and judges, requiring a radical political shift to restore fair commerce and democracy.
