"So look, I've said this since the beginning, which is, you know, when it really comes to editorial independence will absolutely be maintained. It's maintained at CBS, it'll be maintained at CNN. And really, who we want to talk to is the 70% of Americans and really around the world that identify a center-left and center-right, and we want to be in the truth business, we want to be in the trust business."
"Unfortunately, the world we live in has a political overlay on almost everything going on in the corporate world, certainly when it comes to news organizations, and there is certainly a perception, and or a fear perhaps, that once you take control of CNN and given the changes you've made at CBS that you will be more beholden to the Trump administration."
David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, addressed concerns about editorial independence during a CNBC interview regarding a potential CNN takeover. Interviewer David Faber questioned whether CNN would become more beholden to the Trump administration, citing changes made at CBS following Ellison's takeover there. Ellison committed to maintaining editorial independence at both networks and stated his focus is reaching 70% of Americans across the political center. CNN staff have expressed concern about the potential acquisition, with critics noting that CBS News coverage shifted toward being more favorable to the Trump administration after Ellison's appointment of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief.
