The proposed merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery would result in unprecedented control of media companies in the United States, endangering thousands of people’s jobs and our democracy. Allowing more mergers in these already highly concentrated media markets would mean huge job losses, fewer choices, and less opportunity and diversity in Hollywood.
The Ellisons already own CBS and TikTok and cannot be allowed to control CNN as well. They have already promised Trump that they’ll make sweeping changes to CNN given the chance, and we know what that means: firing journalists, killing important stories and replacing the news with propaganda. The only reason the merger isn’t dead on arrival is that the Ellisons are making deals with a corrupt president who wants to control what we see and hear.
Protect consumers and workers. Block the Paramount Skydance/Warner Bros. Discovery merger.
