MAGA-aligned billionaires Larry Ellison and his son David have dramatically won a bidding war for CNN’s parent company—and are now on track to turn it Trumpy.
Their Paramount Skydance company suddenly has won its bidding war against Netflix to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery after upping its bad and the younger Ellison attending Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
The move comes two days after Paramount Skydance revised its offer for the media conglomerate which also owns HBO, and is Hollywood’s biggest movie make, from $30 per share to $31 per share.
Once the deal goes through CNN is widely expected to come under the control of Bari Weiss, the MAGA-curious Substacker who now runs CBS News. That network is already reeling from her turbulent leadership, with Anderson Cooper quitting 60 Minutes to focus solely on his CNN role—meaning that he will be reunited with her in the near future.

CNN will die no matter who won the bidding war.
Linear cable is DEAD as a doornail.
Add up viewers of ALL the three so-called major cable news networks on a given night and you barely get to five million in country of over 100 million households.
And when you look at the demographic you find a bunch of old geezers too lazy to use new media or form opinions on their own.
CNN Airport ended four years ago
All Silicon Valley executives should be screened for satanism, including Larry Ellison.
What do they have to lose?
RATs will do everything in their power to censor CNN if it becomes as patriotic as OAN. They even kicked a sitting President off Twitter.

What do they have to lose?
Not at all. It will be great. Competition is good.
I didn’t know that. It’s been about 16 years since I’ve been to any airport.
Finally, CNN may be watchable again.
For some reason that little punk from the extreme leftist Daily Beast didn’t mention that CNN has been the propaganda organ of the Rats since its founding.
I wonder why!
I’m retired, but take 2-4 personal flights per year.

New media can’t be trusted even as much as old.
there’s no way in hell that Bari Weiss will turn CNN “Trumpy”, assuming she’s the one really put in charge there ...
Spectrum BayNews9, the Tampa metro local cable news, leans left as one might expect. Nevertheless, every hour has an early segment, usually by Angie Angers, that is almost always human interest or good local news, that keeps the audience watching while they wait for the weather and traffic.
!CNN will be led by the Ellison family. Not going to happen!
He seems to have skipped the course on PROOFREADING.
BID, not BAD.
To reform CNN and bring it up to good journalism standards and accuracy and honesty of reporting, they had to announce a lot of people are being let got with write offs of their golden parachutes.
Then.... “Hello. Hello. (echo) Is anybody in this auditorium but me today?”
Maintenance man: “I’m here, sir. Just checking the circuit boards before your speech.”
Won’t matter - Cable is dying and will soon be d.e.a.d.
CNN is small potatoes in this deal, but the Ellisons are gonna have fun turning it upside down.
