Donald Trump stated that CNN should be sold to avoid the corrupt and incompetent influence of the current leadership, in the context of the sale of Warner Bros Discovery.

Donald Trump stated that he wants CNN to change its owner as part of the sale of its parent company, Warner Bros Discovery, which he accuses of serving the interests of the Democrats. Currently, Warner Bros Discovery is in a bidding process, with potential buyers including Paramount Skydance and Netflix. Trump suggested that CNN should be sold separately, mentioning that the current management is corrupt or incompetent. He also indicated that he could get involved in the government's decision to approve the sale, which falls to the Department of Justice. Trump has had a hostile relationship with CNN and other major media, which he considers to be dishonest. The Paramount Skydance offer, led by David Ellison, seems to be favored by Trump, while Netflix is associated with the Democrats.
