President Donald Trump accused the Paramount-owned program of selectively editing the segment to make Harris appear more favorable during the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Paramount later agreed to a $16 million settlement with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Ellison did not reference the president in his remarks on Tuesday. He focused on the company and its mission going forward. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With a deep understanding of the industry and a strategic approach to growth, we will stay grounded in creative excellence, embrace cutting-edge innovation, and continue delivering the entertainment, news, and sports experiences that connect with audiences worldwide,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n    window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n    FB.init({\n        appId : '831625585470146',\n    xfbml : true,\n    version : 'v2.9'\n    });\n    };\n    (function(d, s, id){\n    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n    if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n    js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n    js.async = true;\n    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.scrippsnews.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paramount completed its $8 billion merger with Skydance on Tuesday, marking a major shakeup in the entertainment industry.
