WASHINGTON, DC] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released the following statement in response to the proposed merger between AT&T’s media business and Discovery: “This mega-merger combining two of the country’s largest media conglomerates demands close scrutiny to protect consumers’ pocket books instead of accelerating further concentration among corporate behemoths.
