Jon Stewart Predicts Terrifying Future for CNN Under Trumpy Boss

Jon Stewart has a terrifying outlook for CNN now that the president’s desired media company, Paramount, is poised to take over Warner Bros., CNN’s parent company.

“I’d be astonished if they don’t walk in there and go like, ‘Eh, nice show you got here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it,’” Stewart quipped on his podcast, Weekly Show, on Wednesday. “I think the kinds of changes that you’re seeing at CBS are in the offing, and he’s got a much more personal grudge against CNN than he does against CBS,” Stewart explained.

Netflix backed out of its bid to buy Warner Bros.’ studios and streaming properties last week, paving the way for Trump’s buddy, Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison, to buy the company for billions of dollars, cobbled together with overseas cash.
