"Acosta stated, 'We may not be able to put the pieces back together again if the Paramount Warner Bros. Discovery merger goes through and puts my former home, CNN, under the control of the Ellison family.'"
"'The president of the United States Donald Trump has cracked the code on how to hurt the press in America,' Acosta said, emphasizing the severity of the situation."
"'What is happening now goes way beyond that,' he added, describing Trump's actions as an assault on America and the free press."
"'There are references to the new ownership of CNN and a news bias ombudsman for CBS,' Acosta noted, highlighting the implications of the Ellison family's influence."
Jim Acosta warned that the merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery could jeopardize CNN's objectivity under the Ellison family's control. He described Trump's actions against the press as an assault on democracy, likening it to state-controlled media in authoritarian regimes. Acosta highlighted Trump's influence over media narratives and the potential consequences of the Ellison family's ownership, which could lead to biased reporting and further erosion of press freedom in the United States.
