CNN employees reacted with alarm after Netflix abruptly pulled out of the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, effectively clearing the way for a takeover of the 24/7 cable channel by Paramount Skydance, the media giant run by technology heir David Ellison.

Seven current CNN employees who spoke to NBC News on Thursday night, hours after Netflix announced it would not try to match Paramount’s bid for WBD, expressed a combination of fear and concern. They described the mood inside the company as “shaken” and” depressing.”

We should all be shaken and depressed. Larry Ellison is and has always been the most evil fucker in tech. The sphere of influence that he now controls is unprecedented. He and his son will literally be able to shape the way we think through news, film, television, social media, AI based analysis of the massive amounts of data they sit on, etc.

Ellisons and Murdochs competing for conservative infotainment. Any sane mind would avoid these like the plague
