Donald Trump recently demanded that CNN be sold as part of any acquisition of its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, asserting the news network is "corrupt or incompetent".This comes amidst competing takeover bids, with Netflix offering $83 billion for Warner Bros. Discovery's entertainment assets, while Paramount Skydance, backed by Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, launched a $108.4 billion hostile bid for the entire company.Trump indicated potential federal regulatory involvement in the mega-merger, raising concerns given Kushner’s ties and Trump’s previous criticism of
CNN, though he stated he would not pick sides between the bidders.
