The smartest insight and analysis, from all perspectives, rounded up from around the web: It seems like a match made in corporate heaven, said Brian Fung at The Washington Post. The telecom giant AT&T wants to buy Time Warner, the entertainment empire that owns HBO, Warner Bros., and Turner Broadcasting, "to build an advertising and content behemoth." But last week, after months of scrutiny by government regulators, the $85 billion merger "went from looking like a done deal to something much less certain." The Justice Department has reportedly told the companies it will sue to block the merger unless Time Warner sells Turner Broadcasting, whose holdings include CNN, or AT&T sells DirecTV, one of the nation's largest pay-TV providers.
