“I think any deal should certainly ensure that CNN is part of it or that it is sold separately,” he said.
He also commented that the people currently running CNN are a “very dishonest group, and I don’t think this should be allowed to continue.”
Donald Trump’s remarks come after Paramount Skydance made an offer to buy WBD instead of Netflix.
According to the New York Post, internal sources say that the owners of Paramount Skydance, David Ellison and his father Larry, are taking steps to contain fallout with the White House following an interview on “60 Minutes.”
The interview in question was with Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. The lawmaker reportedly made comments that infuriated Donald Trump. Greene’s statements are said to have caught the Ellisons by surprise.
In a post on his Truth Social profile, Trump said that Paramount Skydance’s management was no better than the previous one.
“Since they bought it, ‘60 Minutes’ has actually gotten worse!” Donald Trump said about the Ellisons.
