With the Thursday morning close of Paramount Global and Skydance Media’s troubled $8.4 billion merger comes a new set of challenges: actually running the thing.
The company’s new CEO, David Ellison, acknowledged the merger’s bumpy road in an open letter addressed to the company’s employees, shareholders and customers on Thursday.
While most of the letter uses corporate-speak to look optimistically ahead, Ellison briefly broke character.
Oh really? Is it challenging? You know what’s probably challenging I’m just guessing here but. Being a rape victim watching the person that raped you make deals with CEO of television channel. Now THAT that’s fucking challenging

So scrap the news division. A half assed news division with no credibility is worse than none at all. Make Inside Edition a whole hour.

He shouldn’t sweat it. The News division’s rep has been blown all to hell. Murrow and Cronkite are spinning in their graves.

“Challenging period.” CBS, Paramount and Skydance can go pound sand. I hope the merger was worth giving tens of millions to the worst President in modern history, and volunteering to do his propaganda work. I’ll never spend a dime on any of their garbage, streaming or otherwise.

Facts are going to become very expensive and Paramount will make the financial decision to forego truth for the more consumer friendly version: script
