California Attorney General Rob Bonta was grilled by CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins on Monday about the role of CNN in the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger case. Bonta dismissed claims that CNN was a driving factor in his antitrust suit, calling it "a lie that’s been advanced" by Paramount. He emphasized that the case centers on three specific markets and potential remedies, and that Paramount's attempts to manufacture leverage were irrelevant.
Bonta accused Paramount of discussing irrelevant topics such as the streaming market, CNN's involvement, and foreign regulators' actions. He urged Paramount to focus on the case and suggested that the company address their concerns with structural remedies.
