Can you feel it? The mounting influence of politics, Big Tech, and oligarchy over what appears on our screens? On Thursday we learned that Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson was leaving her home at Warner Bros. Television for Disney, with one source telling Matt that “uncertainty” was the cause. Vague, but yes, there’s a lot of uncertainty in the industry right now—specifically, about how David Ellison, a relatively inexperienced C.E.O., will manage a massive, debt-strapped WarnerMount in an era of rapid technological change and shifting audience tastes. But my sources told me Brunson was more concerned by the Bari Weiss–ification of CBS News and possibly CNN. In some ways, it seems like the main uncertainty is whether the state attorneys general have a shot at blocking the deal, though most assume it’s unlikely, even if the Ellisons ddo have to start paying that $7 million-per-day ticking fee if the deal isn’t closed by October.
