I assume OP is talking about an ideological motive to take over the media industry and pivot it in a rightward direction. That’s certainly what happened with CBS News, I think it’s fair to speculate about CNN too.
No idea why OP alluded to it rather than just said it though.
didn’t think I had to actually explain it :)
Even if that is indeed the motive, the article is useful in showing how from a financial perspective this is bad deal for Paramount.
