So, OnSmash, which seems to be mostly a hip-hop and sports blog, has the exlcusive scoop which says that Warner Media, which owns DC Comics, profits from DC movies, and is depending on DC to bolster its nascent streaming service, is selling to their primary competitor?
Even if this is miraculously true, I would have thought at least Mad Dog would have noted that this seems poorly sourced and unreliable, given what he's said about declining journalistic standards.
Like, seriously?

Add this to the included advertisements and the comments, the first of which mainly refer to conspiracy theories, and this should be one of the most easily suspicious articles on the Internet. And yet, somehow, y'all are accepting this on face value? Even when considering the financial realities? Even the mods?
The article is gone and he did tweet thisSee, I do agree that if this is total crock then I will not be surprised. But what surprises me, is that Charles Murphy was willing to run it as a story piece for his site, Murphy's Multiverse.

I thought it was pretty self-evident that the sniff test was referring to a DOJ inquiry. I imagine you wanted me to read skepticism of the source in "This doesn't make sense," but it's vague enough to mean "This doesn't make business sense." I'll concede that I perhaps misread a greater acceptance of the source than you both had, but this should have immediately been dismissed out of hand.Didn’t know terms like this doesn’t “pass the sniff test” meant that…
Your points are well taken. and yes...journalistic standards have become very lazy....with many reporters getting their info from social media rumors. and then it all becomes a false news echo chamber...As Brian said, it doesn't make much sense, but I guess we'll soon see if there's even a modicum of truth to what's probably a fantasy wish story.So, OnSmash, which seems to be mostly a hip-hop and sports blog, has the exlcusive scoop which says that Warner Media, which owns DC Comics, profits from DC movies, and is depending on DC to bolster its nascent streaming service, is selling to their primary competitor?
