How CBS’s left-wing bias could impact Skydance Media’s $8B deal to merge with Paramount

Skydance Media may finally win regulatory approval for its $8 billion deal to merge with Paramount Global — but the process could look like something out of “Mission: Impossible.”

That’s the word from sources close to the megadeal, who tell me that under terms of a merger approval being discussed by the incoming Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission, Paramount’s CBS network could be forced to make a slew of surprising and dramatic changes.

Viewers may find some of them hard to miss.
