Cannot say I didn't see this coming. They created a full scale mess and have no idea how to clean it up. Could never refine and tune their own operations so they just keep buying stuff. Buy high sell low and always trying to integrate everything with... — read more 

We know for a fact that Elliot is planning on downsizing and outsourcing to 3rd party. It states just that, clear as day in the letter. Kind of funny how Elliot only criticizes T for its failures and with that same key stroke boasts a “T doesn’t... — read more

It’s a crying shame. I’ve always loved HBO. It was my escape when I got home from work. So of course At&t had to buy it and ruin it too. CEO Plepler and others are a big loss. I’ve watched countless stars say they signed with HBO because of him. He... — read more
