"There's a reason we picked that costume. Bailey and I talked about this, and we don't think one corporation, or one man named David Ellison, should be able to buy up all the shows and buy up all the sports and buy up all the news, and decide who watches what and who pays what. I'm gonna stay in that fight."
"I have never met Mr. Ellison, he said, looking to the camera. And I'm sure he's a fine fella. Then, with a lean back to Warren in a mock whisper: You're gonna get me sued. You're gonna get me sued."
Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized David Ellison and Paramount Skydance's acquisition strategy, arguing that one corporation or individual should not control programming, sports, and news. Skydance's acquisition of Paramount Global, including CBS, in August prompted sweeping changes at CBS News and preceded the cancellation of a major late-night show. Warren called for greater transparency from Skydance executives about the deal. Ellison's potential bid for Warner Bros. Discovery intensified concerns in Washington about media concentration. Warren vowed to continue opposing consolidation and to push for scrutiny of large media mergers.
