Accessed 2026-06-15. “The Trump administration has approved Paramount’s $111 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. On Friday, the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division said that it saw no evidence that the media megamerger would harm consumers, writing instead the deal would, quote, “increase competition across the media and entertainment ecosystem,” unquote. If completed, the merger would consolidate two major movie studios, two top streaming services, and news outlets CNN and CBS News, as well as HBO — all under the control of the Ellison family. Paramount’s biggest shareholder is the billionaire Larry Ellison, a close ally of Trump. Paramount’s CEO is Ellison’s son, David Ellison. Last year, his company, Skydance, took control of Paramount, including CBS. Shortly after the Paramount-Skydance merger was approved, Ellison installed the right-wing journalist Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News. And we all know what happened next: the gutting of CBS’s premier news investigative hour, 60 Minutes, where the latest casualty was Scott Pelley, who was just recently fired.”
