Cancelled for a well-reasoned warning that is spot on. Sounds about right.

No. Disney is independent. Comcast owns Universal and a plethora of other labels, including DreamWorks. AT&T owns WarnerMedia and many other labels, including HBO. Add in Sony and Viacom/CBS (Paramount and many other labels) and you have today’s majors. And Netflix, when you turn to the streamers. There are still some independent mid-majors and the independents, but the industry is dangerously concentrated. The big problem in my mind is the vertical integration. As streaming swallows the traditional film industry, a handful of giant global conglomerates will dominate distribution. They will pay lip service to “diversity,” but it will be Disney style diversity.

Disney Plus isn’t cable. It’s a subscription streaming service.

More and more studios are taking their IP and launching their own platforms. The idea of cord cutting has morphed into a la carte studio subscription services. It’s actually more expensive to subscribe to all the various services than it was to just have a cable subscription.

thereby proving her point

free speech seems to be dead.
attacking those with a certain set of beliefs is now in fashion.

CREED based discrimination lawsuits should be filed on publicly traded companies

Yes, the less government regulation and interference in a market the better the market.

How about in breaking monopolies? Because the natural end state of your hands off approach is rule by monopolistic corporations or cartels.

Pretty much like what we have now...oligarchy, and you're on the wrong side with the rest of us.

“How about in breaking monopolies?”

Monopolies are better broken by innovation, technology and the consumer, than they are by the federal government.
