  2. Congress members join protest against ‘#oligarch’s dinner’ for #Trump thrown by Ellisons

    Paramount Skydance CEO fetes administration as it weighs $110bn merger with CNN parent WarnerBros Discovery

    "Dozens of protesters, including members of Congress, gathered along the National Mall on Thursday to protest an 'intimate' dinner being held by #ParamountSkydance’s chief executive, #DavidEllison, 'in celebration of the first amendment' and 'honoring the Trump White House and CBS White House correspondents', and attended by Donald Trump.

    "Paramount has faced criticism for the dinner, which has been seen by some as illustrative of the cozy relationship between the #Ellisons and the White House – right as the Trump administration is weighing whether to approve the company’s $110bn merger with CNN parent company #WarnerBrosDiscovery (#WBD). The dinner comes before Saturday’s White House correspondents’ dinner, which Trump will attend. His defense secretary, #PeteHegseth, is expected to sit at one of the many tables bought by CBS News for the event.

    "Earlier Thursday, WBD shareholders voted 'overwhelmingly' to approve the merger, which will still require approval from the Department of Justice and European regulators.

    "The US representative Jamie Raskin, who has been vocal in his criticism of the Ellisons’ ownership of CBS News, referred to the event as 'a lavish oligarch’s dinner for Donald Trump'.

    " 'We’re gathered here together tonight [because] in the building behind us, David Ellison is hosting a dinner to honor President Trump, a dinner that’s designed to cement the Ellisons to the president in their years-running corrupt merger scheme,' Raskin said."

  11. From the #DreyDossier:

    A lot of material information (14 pages) was left out of disclosures relevant to #WarnerBrosDiscovery shareholders ahead of the upcoming vote on the #merger with #ParamountSkydance, until a shareholder sued. One wonders why.

    Hint: undisclosed conflicts of interest, including foreign investment from Qatar and Saudi.
