Makan Delrahim made the disclosure at Politico’s California Agenda conference, according to Reuters, signaling that Paramount is willing to go beyond internal safeguards to salvage a deal that has become one of the most politically charged media mergers in years. Warner Bros. Discovery is the publicly traded parent of CNN (NASDAQ: WBD), and the merger’s fate directly determines whether Ellison’s Paramount consolidates control over both CBS News and the cable network.
