As Trump tries to ban CNN from the White House, it would be a massive mistake to cave on the Paramount merger.
The last thing we need is another Trump-controlled media conglomerate abusing its power to stomp out competition.
This is a dangerous merger.
Paramount Skydance is in “advanced talks” with California Attorney General Rob Bonta to settle the 12-state antitrust suit that’s holding up its takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
A Paramount spokesperson declined to comment. A rep for Bonta’s office said, “Potential settlement talks are confidential. We cannot confirm or deny whether settlement talks are occurring or their alleged substance.”
