President Trump, while speaking to reporters from the White House, commented on the potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD): “I think any deal should – it should be guaranteed and certain that CNN is part of it or sold separately. I don’t think the people that are running that company right now and running CNN, which is a very dishonest group of people, I don’t think that should be allowed to continue. I think CNN should be sold along with everything else…I will be probably involved, maybe involved in the decision. It depends. You have some good companies bidding on it.” Netflix’s (NFLX) offer to acquire Warner Bros. has CNN being put into a separate company. Paramount Skydance’s (PSKY) bid, which it took directly to shareholders, includes buying all of Warner Bros. Discovery.
