President Trump expressed skepticism about Netflix's proposed acquisition of parts of Warner Bros. Discovery, stating 'it could be a problem' due to market share concerns and indicating his involvement in regulatory approval. This alarming consolidation of media power threatens competition and democratic discourse, demanding immediate scrutiny to protect free markets and innovation.

Ava DuVernay is making a Netflix documentary titled '14th' about the enduring legal and political battle over the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection to formerly enslaved people.
