Eighty five billion dollar tie up the u. S. Government says the merger of the telecom and the content creator would homme competition resulting in higher costs for consumers its no secret that u. S. President donald trump doesnt like c. N. N. In fact he seems to relish lashing out at the broadcast company which he calls fake news his most famous attack may have been a retreat a gift of him pretending to wrestle its logo dutch we could become exhibit a in the antitrust battle about to be waged between the Us Government and eighty n. T. The president s outburst give life to a counter argument in a case namely that the government is trying to squeeze c. N. N. By making it poison to eighteen takeover of its Parent Company time warner a t. N. T. Appears ready to make just such an argument theres been a lot of reporting and speculation whether this is all about c. N. N. And frankly i dont know. But nobody should be surprised at the question keeps coming up because weve witnessed such an abrupt change in the application of and i trust law here so any agreement that results in us forfeiting control of c. N. N. Whether directly or indirectly is a nonstarter yet trump was already critical of the deal before his feud with c. N. N. Calling it unfair during his campaign a deal we will not approve in my administration because its too much concentration of power in the hands of too few.

N. N. Now threatens to overshadow those arguments its become a recurrent theme in his administration his own words as a burden to his own policies and hence called his own wall street farce yet its good to see you all those anti trust concerns valid off to roll come kos and n. B. C. Were allowed to merge a few years ago you know this last year it came completely out of the blue and especially if you look at it thats a socalled vertical deal meaning two companies trying to merge sure working in Different Industries one being a cable operator and the other one being a Big Media Company now a judge will decide and that judge who is going to be side on the future of time warner big ben actually was skeptical about the cost and d. C. Deal but eventually approved it so well the last word is not spoken in this battle a multi billion and then a activity in the us has been on the rise in the pasta but could this lawsuit have a Chilling Effect on this kind of activity. Theres certainly that is one of the Big Questions and if you look at it if the Justice Department starts blocking vertical deals what happens to companies who drive to a merger within the same industry one of the huge multibillion dollar outstanding possible mergers is the acquisition of monsanto by the German Company bears so that also could be in jeopardy at this point the u. S. President by the way was saying to aid and warner it would be bad for the country so one question also is if the u. S. President really should get which would get involved personally in such deals ok and please stay thats a lot to get your opinion on this next piece equal access online thats been the aim of Net Neutrality but the rules currently in place are set to be scrapped thats when the new plans are field today by agit pike the chairman of the u.
