Paramount’s new owner has big plans to reshape CBS News after the company settled with President Donald Trump over his 60 Minutes gripes—and they fall right in line with MAGA ideals.
Skydance CEO David Ellison—son of the world’s second richest person Larry Ellison—thinks CBS News has become “extreme, elitist, and performative,” a source close to him told the Financial Times. Ellison wants to pull the company back toward a “performance-based culture” that harkens back to “the days of Edward R Murrow and Walter Cronkite,” two CBS legends.
“Not quotas. Not ideology. Just objective journalism,” the source told the paper.
