Warner Bros. Discovery: Split So Debt Can Hide Like Your Ex
So let me get this straight—Warner Bros. Discovery is breaking up with itself, splitting into 'Warner Bros.' and 'Discovery Global,' which sound like dates you take on Pure Romance night but are actually maneuvers to dodge debt. According to WBD president David Zaslav, this breakup places Warner Bros. 'in a strong position to launch and continue to meaningfully grow a company worthy of our storied past.' Meanwhile, Discovery Global gets to play responsibility for CNN and Bleacher Report, all while secretly hoping a new communications chief can spin this circus into something worth watching.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where paying off debts magically turns into launching 'a company worthy of our storied past'? Because last time I checked, splitting was for TV drama, not giant corporate laundry.
Looks like Warner Bros. Discovery hit 'divorce' on their relationship status to avoid splitting their credit card bill. Spoiler alert: debt doesn’t disappear, it just moves next door.
If Warner Bros. Discovery was a Marvel movie, this breakup would be the mid-credits scene where the villain escapes to another franchise—and we're all stuck paying the sequel's crowdsourced debts.
