It appears that Donald Trump is pulling the strings at the Department of Justice and it is putting a big wrench in the AT&T/ Time Warner deal. 

The Financial Times reports that, AT&T has been told by the US Department of Justice that it needs to sell CNN in order to get the deal approved.

Many believe that Trump, who hates CNN is telling the DOJ to not let the deal happen unless CNN is sold off. 

Others think the DOJ is putting consumers concerns about a monopoly and is fighting a big media consolidation.

But, if that was the case, why does it appear that the Sinclair/Tribune deal is just waiting on a rubber stamp for the DOJ? 

Maybe it's because Trump loves Sinclair? 

Either way, something isn't right here and it will have a major impact on Journalism for years to come. 

Stay tuned...
