(40,960 posts)Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of Oracle, is backing his son David Ellisons company, Skydance Media, in a massive merger to acquire Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS. As a primary financier, Larry Ellison is set to take control of CBS and its related assets, raising concerns about his close ties to Donald Trump influencing editorial content.
Key Details on the Deal and Influence:
Financial Control: Larry Ellison provides the majority of the funding for Skydance's bid for Paramount-CBS, aiming to become a major media owner.
Media Empire: If the merger is finalized, the Ellisons will control a vast media empire, including CBS (news and sports), Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and potentially CNN through a proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Editorial Shifts: Under the new ownership, CBS News has already faced significant shifts, including the installation of former New York Times writer Bari Weiss as an editor and steps toward catering to more conservative viewers.
Trump Relationship: Reports indicate concerns that the Ellison-led media companies, including CBS, might align with the interests of Donald Trump.
