I get what you're saying, but that shouldn't matter in a sane world. This merger is bad news for the citizenry.

  >This merger is bad news for the citizenry. It is. And had it been successfully blocked, the message would be clearly understood by media outlet owners far beyond CNN's owner. It is in fact lose-lose. Same goes for whatever ends up happening to Amazon/WaPo. This is the only anti-trust you can expect to see now.

      You punish Bezos by attacking Amazon. I don't think the folks who ended net neutrality then go on twitter tirades against Amazon for the public good. Especially since each tweet drives down the value of tech companies. I certainly can't defend the AT&T-Warner merger nor Amazon's near monopoly. But the enforcement is totally selective and for an insidious reason. http://fortune.com/2018/04/04/donald-trump-amazon-jeff-bezos-post-office/ http://fortune.com/2018/04/04/donald-trump-amazon-jeff-bezos... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/07/trump-bezos-feud-amazon-washington-post-taxes-usps https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/07/trump-bezos-...
