The Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren has warned that corporate mergers approved by the Trump administration – including a pending deal that would put two of America’s largest news outlets under the control of a family sympathetic to the president – could be undone by a future administration.
“After 2028, we’ll have new players in Washington, and everyone who’s engaged in this merger frenzy right now is aware of that,” Warren said in an interview.
“The deals that are being cut today are occurring in the shadow of a coming political tsunami of anger against these giant corporations that think they can mow through one industry after another and run up prices and suck out profits and never be held accountable.”
“By 2028” – the year of the next presidential election – “they may find out they have badly miscalculated,” Warren said.
The Massachusetts senator’s comments come after the justice department earlier this month approved the $111bn merger of Warner Bros Discovery, the parent company of CNN and HBO, and Paramount Skydance, which includes CBS News and is controlled by the Ellison family.
The deal has prompted concerns that Larry Ellison, a longtime associate of Donald Trump, and his son, David, could reorient CNN’s coverage to be favorable to the president. After gaining control of CBS News in the merger last year that created Paramount Skydance, David Ellison appointed as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, a conservative commentator who had no experience in television.
The news network has since been plagued by allegations of political bias, including at 60 Minutes, the most watched show in television news. At CNN, the looming prospect of the Ellisons gaining control of that network and potentially installing Weiss in a leadership role has sparked concerns inside the network.

Doesn’t she ever get tired of being wrong?
Democrats aren’t Happy til WE’RE NOT HAPPY!!
Or dead.
Well, I have to give her credit: “Tsunami of Anger” sounds more dignified than “tantrum.”
Just wait until she gets wind of SpaceX’s Starlink acquisition of T-mobile ...
What will she say about Truth Social merging with a fusion energy company? I can’t wait,
Bari Weiss will be shocked to learn she is a conservative
Liz War-Hen, the hate-fill, nasty, senate whore from Massholeachusetts, has spoken.
She is advocating violence. May she see it returned with interest. We all know it’s coming. When the left is finally forced to accept what’s coming, give them no way out.
Back to stealing the taxpayer blind ?
And "Saving Our Democracy" likewise sounds more dignified than "Siding with the Mob," the latter of which she's clearly advocating.
I don’t think either presidents DeSantis or Vance will cooperate with Warren.
Commie traitor.
A “tsunami of anger” could wash away the Democrats. Or the ruling classes of Europe. etc etc
Yeah. Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that when liberals say, “OUR Democracy,” they mean theirs, not all of us. They consider us relics of the past, who were not a part of the creation of Their Particular Democracy, and are not a part of it now, and are highly expendable.
FTA: “After 2028, we’ll have new players in Washington...”
She’s running.
