It's hilarious how out of touch those people are.
Thinking a letter will change things just shows how out of touch these folks are — or they just want to virtue signal expecting something good (press) only for themselves since the government doesn’t care about 2000 signature petitions on billion dollar transactions
I would say too little too late but honestly none of the people who signed have any power to stop merger unless they agreed to never work with the new company, which they won’t. Mark ruffalo who made a cr-ppy hbo series will still come as soon as hbo or paramount call for him. It’s all symbolic. Artists are clueless and the small percentage with money generally have waning interest to make life better for others at the end of the day
imagine being such a sh---y, downward spiraling media company that not just employees but bread and butter actors and directors don't even trust, value or want to work with you
Means nothing. Just now they are on the do not hire list. AI will take their jobs.
