CNN star Christiane Amanpour has eviscerated her future boss, blasting billionaire David Ellison’s takeover of CBS News for “hemorrhaging viewers” and threatening the “destruction” of its flagship investigative show 60 Minutes.
The veteran chief international anchor, 68, faces life under Trump-friendly nepo baby Ellison, 43, after Paramount Skydance secured shareholder approval last month for its $111 billion acquisition of CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. The deal, pending a final regulatory review, would hand Ellison, son of Donald Trump megadonor and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, control of two of America’s biggest newsrooms.
Speaking at the Truth Tellers Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit in London, Amanpour, who joined CNN in 1983, said she was watching the takeover unfold with dread.
