    CORRECTION:

    She was appointed by David Ellison, a tech scion nepo-baby who took control of CBS’s parent company, Paramount, in a multibillion-dollar merger that his daddy, literal supervillain multi-billionaire Larry Ellison, paid for.

    EDIT: For those that do not understand how buying Paramount (CBS) and rapidly destroying it vast amounts of it works out, just think about the worst case scenario. CBS/Paramount dies in two years at a loss of a few billion dollars. In return, Trump gives Larry (Oracle) and friends hundreds.of billions worth of contracts and priceless access to data, ensuring that they and their companies are thoroughly embedded in our government for years to come. Oh yeah, and they won’t pay taxes thanks to that Paramount “loss”.
