But in reality its how congress and the courts will react to this deal.

Exactly, and that's what I've been saying throughout this thread.

The fact is that CNN is just a small part of Time Warner, and if it becomes a problem, I see no reason why they wouldn't sell it or spin it off. The fact that CNN is consolidating its office space to the Techwood campus in Atlanta might be part of that. I'd suggest that if the president inserts himself into a merger like this for his own personal reasons, that might be grounds for a lawsuit.

Update WPCH sale to Meredith is approved by the FCC.

Yeah, one that may well wind its way through the Federal court system for the next thirteen years.
You'd have to prove intent. I highly doubt that could be done.

Intent? This is someone who makes his intentions very clear. No secret what his intent is to anyone.

Keep in mind that he has never worked for a publicly traded company, so he's not very experienced in the ways they work.
