President Donald Trump on December 10, 2025 told reporters at the White House that CNN “should be sold,” a sharp reminder that the president and millions of Americans no longer trust the legacy networks that have spent years attacking conservative voices. This is not rhetorical theater — it is a demand for accountability from an industry that has repeatedly abused its power to shape narratives and weaponize news against political opponents.
The timing of Trump’s comments is hardly accidental: Warner Bros. Discovery put itself on the block after acknowledging interest from multiple suitors, and the strategic dance between Netflix’s studio-and-streaming bid and Paramount Skydance’s hostile offer has thrown CNN’s future into uncertainty. As the corporate chessboard rearranges itself, CNN — whose cable assets are slated to be spun off in the broader deal discussions — suddenly finds itself exposed to market forces it long thought it could ignore.
Patriotic Americans should not be surprised that the network flummoxed by politics and protected by old-media clout now faces market discipline. For years CNN has been the poster child for biased, cable-driven outrage, insisting on narrative over truth while watching viewers flee to more honest sources. If media executives have been either corrupt or incompetent, as many have argued, then having the market and new owners force change is a healthy corrective for our information ecosystem.
But this moment also exposes the risk of trading one set of journalistic villains for another. Paramount’s all-cash bid threatens to fold CNN into other legacy outlets, and there are real questions about who is financing those bids and what influence that money might buy. Concerns have circulated about the involvement of high-profile financiers and the role of outside backers; Americans deserve transparency about who would control this influential national platform.
Until ownership is settled, CNN and its sister networks are in limbo — and that limbo is a direct result of failing to serve the public honestly. The paralysis at the top of these cable houses should be a cautionary tale: ideological crusading and ratings-chasing ultimately hollow out an institution’s credibility and value. Regulators and shareholders alike should take a hard look at any deal that would give concentrated power to actors who might weaponize newsrooms or use them for political advantage.
Conservatives should welcome the prospect of change while demanding rigorous safeguards. We are not asking for censorship, we are demanding fairness, standards, and consequences for a media culture that has favored power and partisan narratives over the truth. If selling CNN is the price of restoring balanced journalism and accountability, then let the sale proceed under full public scrutiny so that one-sided propaganda no longer masquerades as news.
This is a moment for patriotic vigilance, not for handwringing. President Trump’s blunt criticism reflects a broader public sentiment that the media elite must be reined in, restructured, or replaced. Hardworking Americans deserve news that informs, not indoctrinates, and any buyer of CNN must prove they will restore integrity rather than bankroll another version of the same corrupt system that led us here.
