Paramount chief David Ellison has quietly assured Trump officials that if the federal government blesses the company’s bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, he will move swiftly to remake CNN, the president’s longtime media nemesis, according to reports.

The behind-the-scenes maneuvering comes as a bruising bidding war erupts over WBD, owner of CNN, HBO, Discovery and a sprawling portfolio of cable networks.

Netflix announced last Friday that it had struck a $72 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros. studios and HBO properties. Paramount immediately fired back with a hostile counterbid, taking its appeal straight to shareholders.

The Netflix-WBD merger now faces a serious challenge from Paramount, whose majority shareholder is billionaire Trump ally and Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

On Monday, Paramount upped the stakes, offering $77.9 billion in all cash and urging Warner shareholders to walk away from Netflix’s proposal.

During a recent trip to Washington, Ellison’s son David told members of Trump’s team that he would impose sweeping changes at CNN if he gained control of its parent company, sources told The Wall Street Journal.

Too bad Ol' Man Ted Turner sold out to Warner Brothers and gave the $1 Billion to the United Nations to waste and embezzle.

Greed is the only virtue in corporate Board Rooms, even for lefties.

Paramount boss David Ellison is believed to have assured Trump officials that if the government approves his company's acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), he would overhaul the President's media arch-nemesis, CNN.

Netflix announced last Friday that it reached a deal to acquire Warner and HBO properties for $72 billion, but Paramount immediately launched a hostile counterbid, taking its case directly to shareholders.

The Netflix-WBD merger is facing a stiff challenge from Paramount, whose majority shareholder is billionaire Trump ally, Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

On Monday, Paramount made its move, offering $77.9 billion in all-cash and urging Warner shareholders to reject the Netflix deal.

During a recent visit to Washington, DC, Ellison's son David told Trump's team that he would impose sweeping changes at CNN if he purchased its parent company WBD, sources told the Wall Street Journal.

Larry discussed firing hosts such as Erin Burnett and Brianna Keilar - figures Trump dislikes - during talks with White House officials last month, The Guardian reported.

The President reportedly told people close to him that he wants new ownership of CNN and changes to its programming.

CNN is one of the outlets Trump most likes to brand as 'fake news.' He often calls out its reporters, anchors and general news coverage as intentionally unfavorable to his agenda.
