Skydance has told the Federal Communications Commission that once its acquisition of Paramount Global is complete, it will initiate a "comprehensive review" of CBS to ensure that the network is operating in the public interest, and that it will hire an ombudsman that will report directly to the president of CBS News "who will receive and evaluate any complaints of bias or other concerns" at the news division.
Skydance also committed to eliminating all diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI) at the company, writing in a letter that, "The company is committed to ensuring that its storytelling reflects the many audiences and communities it serves in a manner that complies with non-discrimination requirements and other applicable laws."
Skydance made the commitments in a pair of letters to the FCC, with one focused on "addressing concerns about media bias" and another "to confirm the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that were in place at Paramount and-to-confirm our commitments moving forward."
President Trump has also said that Skydance has committed to about $20 million in PSAs or advertising that are supportive of causes important to him.
Paramount to Create CBS News Ombudsman, Launch Review of Bias
These corporations are scum, Lol. None of them have any shred of morals or integrity, all bending the knee to Emperor Trump. In order to get your acquisition approved now in America all you need to do is kiss Trump's ring and become a mouthpiece for him, concerns about monopolies or the market are irrelevant now, just turn into a propaganda outlet for the Trump admin and you're good. "Addressing concerns about media bias" is just code for not calling out Trump's bullshit. Especially when they're committing millions to advertise on behalf of Trump.
