Zas, just go away!

What a joke, Zas actually thinks he is doing a good job! He is not qualified to run a sidewalk lemonade stand. He made a lousy deal with Stankey at at&t. Paid way too much for Warner, in addition to taking on uneeded debt to close the deal. Zas... — read more

Strikes Saved Warner $100M From Strikes

sort of hard to maintain a strike when you have no leverage. Zaslav and Wiedenfels are laughing in the faces of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, whose leadership clearly don't understand the landscape of the... — read more 

Unsustainable

Yes, The Flash is a holdover from the previous regime but the execs were touting this as the blockbuster that was going to save us all from further job cuts. I'm sorry, but James Gunn isn't going to turn this thing around for DC and frankly, between... — read more

"You opted to be here"

Shareholders deserve better.

Wake up Zas! WBD shareholders have had enough. You have ruined Discovery with your acquisition of Warner. Most think Stankey got the better of Discovery. Warner was worth no more than $8B. Zas way overpaid! WBD is now in shambles and will never... — read more

3Q results in today, horrible in every aspect. Give it up Zas, you are in way over your head. You paid 4X what Warner was worth. Now WBD is in debt $57B. How does this happen, no way Zas will ever pay off that debt. WBD will be in bankruptcy within 2... — read more

Do you really wanna die on that hill?

Someone should have asked Zas if he was absolutely certain that he wanted to die on that hill prior to the acquisition of Warner Media. Since the acquisition WBD has been on a downward spiral. I think there is a very good chance WBD will declare... — read more
