TELL THE FCC: Paramount-Skydance is preparing a bid to acquire Warner Bros. If carried
through, this deal would create one of the most powerful media and news
brands in the U.S. Such concentration threatens the independence of
journalism and increases the risk that reporting will be shaped by Trump. Sign the petition: No more media monopolies! Stop the Paramount-Warner Bro. merger.

Paramount Skydance is preparing a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery —
including its cable networks, studios, and streaming services. If carried
through, this deal would put under one roof some of the most powerful
media and news brands in the U.S., including CNN, HBO Max, CBS News, MTV,
BET, Comedy Central, plus HGTV, TNT, and Food Network.^1
Such concentration threatens the independence of journalism, dilutes
diverse viewpoints, and increases the risk that reporting will be shaped
by Trump or corporate interests rather than what the public needs to know.

That’s why the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department
of Justice Antitrust Division must act swiftly and decisively. They should
launch a thorough antitrust review of the proposed Paramount-Skydance and
Warner Bros. Discovery consolidation, with special attention to media
plurality, editorial independence, and audience impact.
Regulators must also be prepared to block mergers that would result in
excessive concentration of media ownership, especially when so many major
outlets that serve as sources of news, culture, and public interest are at
stake.
The FCC and DOJ must protect our democratic information ecosystem.
Journalism must serve the people — not just powerful business interests.
