This merger will further shrink news ownership, as the deal allows Paramount, which already controls CBS News, to acquire CNN, the third largest US news site. What’s more, Ellison is the son of—and is bankrolled by—one of the richest Americans, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who is friendly with President Donald Trump and an ardent supporter of the [zionist regime].

Awful. To make things the worst possible, there’s also been discussion of Musk gaining a stake in the two.

    How sad to see CNN and a free press die.

    I mean, it was already owned by Warner Bros., so this isn't that big of a change, is it? It seems the future of quality journalism is independent journalists and Pro Publica. I'm sure there are others, but I don't know of them.

    I'm boycotting CBS for firing Colbert. Since Paramount owns CBS, I'm also boycotting them. If CNN is bought by Paramount, I'll have to add them to my block list as well. No more clicks from me for them!

    So basically he's doing that Orban did; put his friends in charge of major media outlets.
