Senior White House officials have reportedly expressed their approval for Paramount Skydance’s possible acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, the company that owns CNN, according to The Guardian.

The site reports that Paramount’s largest shareholder, Larry Ellison, had a conversation with one White House official about bringing about programming changes at CNN if the acquisition happens. Specifically, there was allegedly talk about getting rid of certain talent who Donald Trump does not approve of, including Erin Burnett and Brianna Keilar. In their conversation, there was also reportedly talk of who could possibly replace Burnett.
