4:45Now PlayingDavid Ellison wrote a New York Times op-ed asking Americans to trust him with CNN while Paramount pushes its $110 billion takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery. He claims he will not interfere with news coverage, even after handing CBS News to Bari Weiss and pointing to 60 Minutes as proof of independence while that newsroom faces leaks, turmoil, and questions over buried reporting.
