Dems rip Paramount Skydance’s hostile WBD bid over Saudi- and Kushner-linked funding: report
  • Representatives Sam Liccardo and Ayanna Pressley criticized Paramount Skydance's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), highlighting concerns over funding linked to Saudi interests and Jared Kushner. They sent a letter to WBD's board and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing their disapproval of the deal.
  • This development raises significant concerns regarding the influence of foreign funding in American media and entertainment, particularly in light of the ongoing scrutiny over the ethical implications of such financial ties.
  • The criticism reflects a broader debate about the intersection of politics, media, and foreign investment, particularly as tensions rise over perceived political obstructionism in various sectors, including economic policies under previous administrations.
