   Warner Bros. Discovery's management is advising shareholders not to accept   
   Paramount's takeover offer. That must be a huge blow to Paramount.   
      
   Warner's management had already struck a deal with Netflix and is clearly not   
   thrilled with a potential merger with Paramount, which recently made headlines   
   due to its close ties with the White House under Trump.   
      
   Warner Bros. is so popular because the company has a vast archive of series   
   and films.   
      
   Paramount doesn't have the funding yet and will have to rely on external   
   financiers. These will likely be some of Trump's wealthy friends.
