概要
News recently broke that Paramount, which is newly controlled by David Ellison and his billionaire dad Larry Ellison, won the bid to buy Warner-Brothers Discovery, after aggressively squeezing out Netflix.
As Trump himself has said, the Ellisons are “friends of mine…big supporters of mine, and they’ll do the right thing.”
Is the “right thing” squashing critical coverage of the president? Doing stories he’s more inclined to like? The Ellisons already own CBS News, through Paramount; now they’re about to own CNN. Larry Ellison also has a new ownership stake in TikTok, via a deal anointed by Trump.
Is this what experts call “media capture?” Is the U.S. in it, right now?
In this conversation we first ran in October 2025, after the Ellisons took control of Paramount, foreign correspondent Natalia Antelava explains the insidious implications of media capture from her experience living and reporting in captured countries around the world.
“Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory. And don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter.
