David Ellison Says Lawsuit Is About CNN

“Paramount CEO David Ellison has come out swinging against an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block his pending $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery merger, arguing that the effort by a group of 12 state attorneys general and the Writers Guild of America is really about politics and CNN,” The Wrap reports.

Said Ellison: “I believe that anyone who oversees a news organization — I am chief executive of Paramount, which owns CBS — shouldn’t put a finger on the scale, especially on matters involving his own company.”
