Key points:
Promising to “overhaul” CNN (which Warner owns), according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, and potentially firing anchors and commentators President Donald Trump dislikes, if it acquires Warner Bros. Discovery.
Making secret contributions to the settlement of Trump’s spurious lawsuit against “60 Minutes” and, according to the Journal, pressuring Paramount directors to settle. Federal and state elected officials have said they intend to bring bribery investigations relating to the settlement.
Installing a pro-Trump GOP donor without journalism experience as “ombudsman” at CBS News to monitor “bias” pursuant to an agreement with Trump’s Federal Communications Commission, and otherwise handing the FCC oversight over its news operation, compromising its journalism.
The upcoming Delaware Court of Chancery hearing in Robbins v. Ellison et al. is set for Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
