    Like firing FBI director, legitimacy of forcing sale of CNN depends on motive. In both cases, the appearance of reprisal is strong

        “Lax antitrust enforcement for our friends; strict enforcement for our critics” is obviously sinister

        The DOJ is not the final word on the subject. It must go to court to stop the merger. AT&T has indicated it will force DOJ to do so.

        And I can’t see a court disallowing the merger, even on final appeal. That doesn’t change the fact that the President of the United States is using his platform & the DOJ to pursue a personal vendetta against a component part of the media, which is absurd.

        Wonder why after they literally rewrote the rules to allow for conservative Sinclair's takeover of Tribune stations they would suddenly object to this merger? 🤔🤥

        They sure didn't take steps to avoid appearance of reprisal. Signal is sent. Executives elsewhere WILL be intimidated. This is creeping autocracy.

        Adding it to my list of corruption that @GOP is allowing Trump to get away with ... it seems unethical to me.

        I’m not sure what it is, but Trumpkins always have issues with the two. Irony is especially delicious when you notice the “Pick up facts” challenge at the end.
