The Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, has said the agency’s review of the proposed merger was not connected to the civil suit.
In response to news of the merger on Thursday, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, who has called for an investigation into Paramount’s relationship with Trump over the Skydance merger, wrote in a social media post: “Sure looks like they paid Donald Trump $36 MILLION for this merger.
That is why I welcome Skydance’s commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network.”.
The merger came after Skydance and its investment partner, RedBird Capital, assured the FCC of their commitment to unbiased journalism that represents diverse viewpoints.
The sole Democrat on the three-person FCC committee, commissioner Anna Gomez, called the merger a “deal” that was “linked” to Paramount’s $16m settlement with the Trump administration.
In his statement announcing the merger, Carr added: “Approving this transaction will unleash the investment of $1.5 billion into Paramount, bolstering all aspects of its operations, including broadcast.”.
“Trump, his penis is teeny-tiny”, a narrator intones, “but his love for us is large”. »
