What’s obvious, according to multiple sources, is that there’s a sizable contingent at Warner Bros. of people who don’t want the merger with Paramount to happen. And the prevailing feeling among some at WBD clearly is a hope that the state attorneys general lawsuit will gum up the works long enough to cause the deal to fall apart. (A rep for Warner Bros. Discovery declined to comment.)
