Raskin asks Paramount CEO about CBS content pressure

WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday asked Paramount PSKY.O CEO David Ellison to answer if he or the company are pressuring CBS News to air content sought by President Donald Trump.

Representative Jamie Raskin, who would take over as chair next year if Democrats win control of the House in November, in a letter Tuesday to Ellison said "your company appears to be colluding with the Trump Administration to curtail media independence, promote political and ideological censorship, and stifle dissent."

Raskin in May asked Ellison if he or the company offered to make changes to CNN's coverage of Trump in exchange for approval of a tie-up with Warner Brothers Discovery WBD.O.
