Paramount Skydance denied reports of promising Donald Trump or government agencies changes to CNN’s editorial direction. The company stated no such assurances were made to influence the approval of its Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition.
The denial addresses claims that the parties discussed reshaping the news network’s perceived political bias. Paramount stated its primary objective remains supporting truth-based journalism.
The merger recently received clearance from the U.S. Department of Justice. Other regulatory bodies continue to review the deal in its final stages.
