David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance reportedly has the best chance in the brewing bidding war to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery due to an unlikely advantage: CNN. The bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery kicked into high gear last week with Paramount Skydance, Comcast, and Netflix leading the charge.

According to the, Paramount Skydance has the best pitch due to Larry Ellison and CEO David Ellison’s eye on CNN with an aim to buy the studio’s cable-news subsidiary.. “Trump, meanwhile, desperately wants CNN — whose correspondents regularly spar with him at the White House and on Air Force One — ‘neutralized’ out of its anti-MAGA coverage, one top broadcast executive recently told.” “And in his thinking, Larry Ellison, the billionaire Trump donor who is co-founder of software giant Oracle, is the perfect vehicle to set CNN straight,” it added. “Specifically, Trump wants the Ellisons to do to CNN what they are doing with their CBS subsidiary after hiring Bari Weiss, the right-of-center columnist who is under orders to squeeze left-wing bias out of its news programming.” Bari Weiss could potentially include CNN as being part of her editorial oversight should Paramount Skydance win the bidding war.“Brian Roberts gets a proctology exam that could last two years. Same with Netflix. The Warner board might just say it’s not worth the wait,” the lawyer added. Insider reports say that the Ellisons actually view CNN as a viable business model due to its global reach with reporters and correspondents in nearly every country. Despite its issues in the current marketplace, it still makes $500 million in yearly profits.Australian Judge Rules Synagogue Arsonist Was Motivated by Mental IllnessEuropeans Offer to Allow Russia Back Into G8 Economic Alliance During Ukraine Peace Talks in GenevaReport: Minnesota Father Suffering ‘Debt and 15 Years of Hardship’ Due to Illegal Guatemalan Stealing His SSNCharlie Sheen Blasts His Father Martin Sheen for Attacking Trump Right After He Brokered Gaza Peace DealAustralian Judge Rules Synagogue Arsonist Was Motivated by Mental Illness, Not Antisemitism Exclusive – Onebrief COO Adam Lackey: Secretary Hegseth Pushing Software Innovation to Win Our Next War
