Paramount, Comcast and Netflix have submitted bids to acquire all or part of Warner Bros. Discovery, ushering in a dramatic period of evolution for the media business.
I grew up watching re-runs of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, The Animaniacs, and Batman: The Animanted Series. Seeing Warner Bros. reduced to what it is now after the Discovery merger hurts my soul, let alone them trying to shelve the Coyote vs. ACME movie!

Why? Why do you care? It’s a company, not a person.

You can download videos. I can teach you what torrenting is.
None of this explains the corporate anthropomorphism.
