CNN’s Tapper to AG Bonta: Will CNN Be Able to Report News ‘Fairly, Independently, Without Any Political Pressure’ Under the Paramount Deal?

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Are you convinced that CNN will be able to report the news fairly, independently, without any political pressure under this deal?”

BONTA: “I think that this deal maximizes for that possibility.”

TAPPER: “Possibility?”

BONTA: “Yeah. There‘s no guarantees. You know, does this antitrust consent decree, in this case with these two companies, solve for all the concerns we have about our information ecosystem, about our democracy, about the free and independent press? It does not.”
