WB wants to spin CNN off as its own entity (I suppose for separate sale) and sell the rest of itself, and Paramount wants CNN left in the bundle with the rest of WB/Discovery.

Paramount basically WANTS CNN so they can destroy it and then remake into an InfoWars or OAN, like they are doing to CBS right now.
