of power issues in media right now, but i think this merger is the wrong target. it has been poisoned by the politicization of turner and cnn. the fact that it is now in play it is the president s personal vendetta. the president has gone after cnn time and again. right. and said how much he doesn t like it and how he doesn t want this deal to happen. that is particularly problematic at a time we need to look closely at antitrust. this is a vertically integrated merger. companies that don t committee. when you look at 2011 comcast/universal went through. no divestment there. the targets he should look at are googles, facebooks. that s where the real power in media is. i think this is a poisoned deal really. steven, what do you think? i disagree that there is somehow an overconcentration of power in media.
