@ConservBriefLOL!!!! A California judge has APPROVED the $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery - meaning CNN will now be owned by TRUMP donors Larry and David Ellison, who financially backed the merger.

@PaulGoldEagle🚨BREAKING: A California judge just cleared the $110 billion Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. CNN is now headed into the Ellison orbit. Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín approved Paramount Skydance’s settlement with 12 state attorneys general. That was the last legal hurdle. The companies say the deal is set to close around October 6. David Ellison, CEO and controlling shareholder, will run strategy. His father, Larry Ellison, is the money behind Paramount Skydance. Warner brings CNN, HBO and the Warner studio into that house, next to CBS. States sued over competition and news independence. The settlement forces an editorial board over CNN and CBS, a minimum film slate, and billions in U.S. production spending. The network that spent years at war with Trump is about to sit under the family that backed him. The judge signed it. The close is days away. H/T David J Harris Jr
