John Malone probably rants about woke society to all his servants. -- nm - David Oct 11, 15:05 9
- Zaslav is a true-believer Trumper all on his own. which is the only way he'll get DOJ approval for another sale after he gets done gutting Warners -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 15:08 8
  - FWIW, his public political donations have been to democrats. - David Oct 11, 15:13 7
    - nah "When it comes to President Trump, Zaslav said although it’s still early, “some of his business policies could really be helpful to America.” - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 15:18 6
      - I'm aware of those comments, just as I've researched his political donations, which are entirely democrat. He hasn't even hedged his bets like most do - David Oct 11, 15:25 5
        
        actions speak louder than money. if he intends to actually work with anyone other than white dudes as CEO, he's either dumb as a fucking rock or - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 15:30 4
        
        So maybe "boomer" rather than "trumper" would be more accurate? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 15:31 3
        
        at some point you are what you do, not who you give money to. and every action he's taken as CEO so far has been to make WB whiter and more male. FTG -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 15:32 2
        
        That's the point of the discussion. It's never been him. He's the figurehead/human shield. It's John Malone calling the shots. - David Oct 11, 15:34
        
        "FTG" means "Fuck That Guy", right? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 15:34
These are things that existed at Warner Bros. Discovery? -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 14:53 9

- WB Writers Workshop has been the best TV writers apprenticeship for 40 years and produced billions in showrunners/writers. fuck Zaslav -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 14:57 7
  - I was in the writers workshop many years ago. It's a great program. - howie Oct 11, 15:13 4
    - Did any (other) writer we'd know come out of your group? -- nm - David Oct 11, 15:26 3
      - Like I said, it was a long time ago, but I don't recall hearing any familiar names in the years since. - howie Oct 11, 15:40 1
        
        Here's the only person who got a gig at the end of the program..NMBL -- (link) - howie Oct 11, 15:48
      - the biggest names have been Terrance Winter, Marc Cherry, Greg Garcia, Felicia Henderson but literally hundreds of other showrunners/upper-levels - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 15:35
  - I wonder what the WGA thinks about that. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 14:59 1
    - screenwriting twitter is properly incensed, but the program fellows are almost always pre-WGA so not really within their jurisdiction. just more fuel - hollywood big shot Oct 11, 15:04
