Trump Allies Acquire CNN
Paramount's Skydance has acquired Warner Bros. Discovery for $81 billion, including CNN and CBS. The acquisition is notable as CNN is a frequent critic of former President Trump, and the Ellison family, behind Skydance, has ties to Trump. The deal comes ahead of crucial midterm elections. Despite concerns, CNN's Mark Thompson and CBS's Barry Weis will retain their roles.2 sourcesSee all sources
