David Ellison backed CNN’s court fight with the Trump administration over White House access on the same day his company finished buying Warner Bros. Discovery. He said he supports the network’s effort and will not get involved in how CNN covers the news, according to a CNN report written by Brian Stelter and Andrew Kirell.
The comments came as Ellison, chief executive of Skydance, spoke with employees and later with reporters in Los Angeles. “We believe in editorial independence, and we will never interfere,” he said, repeating a pledge he made earlier this year while trying to buy Warner Bros. Discovery.
