So far, there's no comment from CNN Chairman and CEO Mark Thompson on the news of the Paramount bid for the whole of Warner Bros/Discovery, including the pioneering cable news channel.
Paramount's new boss David Ellison, whose portfolio now includes CBS News, has said “We want to build a scaled, new service that is basically, fundamentally in the trust business, that is in the truth business, and that speaks to the 70 percent of Americans that are in the middle, and we believe that by doing so, that is for us, kind of doing well while doing good,"
It's no secret that Donald Trump has issues with CNN, and the Ellison family is well connected with the Trump circle. At the weekend, the President let it be known that the size of a combined Netflix/Warner Bros "could be a problem".
