    Wow, really suckling that orange teat, aren’t you Skydance? With a $20 million donation too.

    This merger is a purchase-and-tank operation. CBS is a front for right-wing misinformation now.

      Its just a suck up to the GOP so they can buy Paramount.

      Skydance has no interest in running terrestrial TV, they will rip its guts out to fatten it up for a sale and then sell it to institutional investors.

    Why is this weird company who no one has ever heard of able to buy this well established network and run it into the ground?

    I already cancelled my subscription. Fuck this. I’m so sick of these giant corporations ruining everything I enjoy.

      It’s a production company that has made movies you’ve probably watched or have definitely heard of (e.g. True Grit, newer Mission Impossible movies, Top Gun Maverick), but more importantly, it’s run by Larry Ellison’s son, David. As in Larry Ellison the billionaire who founded Oracle and is consistently somewhere in the top 5 richest people globally.

      So the answer is having a stupid amount of money to throw about, as usual.

    Throw in a blowjob for the President and twenty-million for a ‘library’, and maybe you’ll have a deal.

    That FCC Project 25 guy always reminds me of that Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark than burns his hand on the medallion and then melts to death. Ahh, one can dream.
