Journalist Christiane Amanpour says she is concerned about the effects of Paramount Skydance’s proposed acquisition of CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Speaking at the Truth Tellers summit honoring the late journalism pioneer Sir Harry Evans, Amanpour described the deal as part of an “ideological realignment of CBS,” and said she worries that changes associated with David Ellison’s control of CBS could extend to CNN. She acknowledged limits on what she could disclose about an ongoing corporate process, but said her concern is based on developments tied to Ellison’s earlier acquisition of CBS News. Amanpour referenced reported plans for changes to CBS’s flagship Sunday program, “60 Minutes,” suggesting further restructuring may follow. While she did not provide new details about the CNN merger itself, her remarks emphasize her view that past ownership changes at CBS point to potential impacts on editorial direction and operations at CNN if the Paramount Skydance- Warner Bros. Discovery combination proceeds. Her comments focus on journalistic independence and organizational direction rather than specific business terms of the proposed merger.
