An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Oppose the Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery Merger

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I need you to oppose the proposed Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery and conduct aggressive oversight of the Department of Justice approval process. This merger would consolidate control of CNN, CBS, HBO, and major entertainment studios under David Ellison and his father Larry Ellison, the billionaire Oracle founder and Trump ally. This deal will cost thousands of entertainment industry jobs while placing major news organizations under the control of people aligned with the current administration. After David Ellison acquired CBS News in 2025, the network took on a right-leaning slant favorable to Trump. Trump's direct involvement in these negotiations points to crony capitalism, not legitimate business. The consolidation of this much media power threatens constitutionally protected free speech and free press. The Department of Justice must reject this merger, and Congress must ensure the approval process isn't corrupted by political interference. Enforce our antitrust laws and protect independent journalism from becoming a propaganda arm for billionaires and their political allies.
