On Thursday, April 23, inside the now-shuttered United States Institute of Peace building, Paramount Chairman and CEO David Ellison plans to “honor” President Trump at an invite-only, swanky dinner. In a blatant conflict of interest, Ellison is waiting for regulatory approval in his pursuit of a $110 billion deal for Paramount to purchase Warner Bros. The deal would further consolidate an already concentrated media landscape, narrowing the diversity of TV news and reducing the number of major U.S. film studios to just four. If approved, this merger would give one family control over CBS, CNN and TikTok — and the Ellisons have already promised President Trump that they would make sweeping changes to CNN. It would slash jobs, diminish opportunities for creators, and reduce choice for audiences in the United States and around the world. Join us in solidarity outside the U.S. Institute of Peace on April 23 at 5:30PM to protest David Ellison’s dinner honoring Donald Trump!
