Mamdani Urges Warner Bros. Shareholders to Vote 'No' on Paramount Merger: 'Thousands of Jobs at Risk'

Add New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani to the list of those opposing Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Mamdani took to X to voice his opposition to the deal as Warner Bros. shareholders are poised to vote on the merger on Thursday. "This merger is bad for New Yorkers three times over. Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And two of America's most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear," Mamdani said before putting his city's weight behind a plea to vote no. . . .
