Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

No decent antitrust regulatory body would let this stand.

Of course, I doubt we'll have one under the incoming regime.

There don't seem to be any in the world, at the moment.

How is this real life? This is obviously bad for customers.

Studios shouldn’t own channels (streaming or broadcast).

Telecom's shouldn't own the service and the hardware either. Should all be MVN's
