Oh boy. Now that Paramount SkyDance is on the cusp of buying Warner Bros Discovery, my own concerns about the fate of CNN are coming to the fore. Now, first and foremost, there will be a bloodbath should CNN and CBS be combined. Many, many people will lose their jobs at both news institutions.
Bari Weiss
But there is also the issue of Free Press impresario Bari Weiss. She is probably going to be in control of the unified CBS / CNN if the deal goes through. It’s very possible that a big chunk of the news ecosystem is going to lurch into the MAGA adjacent world of the Free Press.
It could be that under the guidance of Weiss that CBS / CNN will make a go at being a lot more like FoxNews to the point that only MSBNC will be left as any sort of “normal” news channel.
Ugh.
