Paramount has been announced as the new future owner of Warner Brothers Discovery. The company’s CEO is a Trump supporter, which makes the staff of CNN very nervous since Warner Brothers Discovery also owns CNN. Netflix was positioned to purchase the property, but public statements by one of their board of directors may have blown the deal for them.
Susan Rice, a long-time Obama-Biden cabinet member, warned corporations that are willing to take a knee to Trump can expect criminal prosecutions when her party returns to power. Calls for Netflix to nix the political terrorist have fallen on deaf ears, leading to a growing movement to boycott Netflix. President Trump amplified the message, posting “Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.”

Former Obama-Biden official Susan Rice’s recent comments targeting companies working with President Donald Trump are being blamed for the failure of Netflix’s attempt to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.
Rice, who now serves on Netflix’s board of directors, drew scrutiny after issuing a warning to corporations she accused of “taking a knee” to Trump.
Speaking on the Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara podcast last week, Rice said media companies, Big Tech firms, universities, and other institutions that align with Trump would face consequences if Democrats regain power.
“I think they’ve got another thing coming,” Rice said.
President Trump responded directly, posting:
“Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.”
