With the recent alleged quid-pro-quo between Paramount and Pres Trump on the Skydance merger, and this merger - into an entity controlled by Larry Ellison - I’m not feeling to great about their ability to execute on that mission. Happy to be wrong though.

I sincerely don’t know how to read this; either Paramount/CBS is worried about their public perception wrt kowtowing to government pressure, or right-wing media is buying legitimacy via branding, or this is a personal “squash your enemies” favor between billionaires.
