Why is this important?
Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is one of the largest media deals in recent years. CNN is one of the key pieces of this puzzle. The statement of Donald Trump, who has been criticizing the station for a long time, may influence the decisions of investors and the future of the entire company.
What did Donald Trump say?
— I think the people who have been running CNN lately are a disgrace. “I think it's necessary to sell CNN because we certainly wouldn't want people to just leave them some money, good money, along with CNN so they can spend even more to spread their poison,” Trump said.
The US president also added: “I believe that any deal should ensure that CNN is part of it or sold separately.” I believe CNN should be sold along with everything else.
