Well political differences is not a valid reason to block a merger in the US (see TWC and AT&T’s merger in his first term for an example of that strategy failing).
That was part of Paramount’s offer/threat to WBD, though - “the administration likes us.” I agree with you that it’s unlikely to block the merger, but I think saying this is a win for the consumer is ignoring a whole lot of context.
