Skydance Media has made a series of new commitments to eliminate bias in news and entertainment programming at CBS and its parent company, Paramount, when its planned acquisition of the companies is complete. Skydance is also confirming the “elimination” of all “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” policies and initiatives at Paramount, which had been one of the most aggressive proponents of DEI in the entertainment business.

Should the Trump administration, as expected, approve the transaction, Skydance now says it will launch a “comprehensive review of CBS” focused on bias, as well as appoint an “ombudsman” to “evaluate complaints of bias or other concerns involving CBS,” and eliminate Paramount’s controversial Office of Global Inclusion.

“When it comes to the legacy national news media, change is long overdue,” Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr told the Washington Free Beacon.

Skydance laid out the moves in two letters it sent to Carr on Tuesday. The first letter addresses “concerns about media bias” at CBS and pledges to “ensure that CBS’s reporting is fair, unbiased, and fact-based.” The second outlines Skydance’s “commitments going forward” to “promote non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity.”
