Katie Couric Unloads on New CBS Boss: ‘What a Disgrace’

To counteract that critique, #Paramount said #Oracle founder #LarryEllison – the father of Paramount CEO #DavidEllison – will guarantee all $40.4 billion of the equity he’s putting up to finance the $78 billion deal. That’s a big guarantee, putting Larry Ellison on the hook for about a sixth of his roughly $250 billion net worth if something falls through.

And of course…

But #SharynAlfonsi, the veteran “ #60Minutes” correspondent who reported the segment, rejected that criticism in a private note to #CBS colleagues on Sunday.…

Sunday’s unusual events have once again placed “ #60Minutes” at the center of a #media & #political fracas.
#BariWeiss was appointed in October after #DavidEllison, the owner of CBS’s parent company, #ParamountSkydance, acquired her independent “news” & opinion site, The Free Press.
Ellison’s acquisition of #Paramount earlier this year was approved by the #Trump admin only after Paramount paid $16M to settle a lawsuit that Trump had brought against “60 Minutes.”
